What is the meaning of the name Satsuki ?

The baby name Satsuki is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /sa.tsɯ.ki/ (Japanese), approx. "sah-tsu-kee".

Satsuki is Japanese in Origin.

A Japanese given name and seasonal word, Satsuki is commonly written 皐月 'fifth month/May' or 五月, and may also appear as 早月 'early moon/month', 咲月 'blooming moon', 紗月 'silk moon', or 颯月 'breeze moon'. The element tsuki means 'moon/month', so nuances range from the literal month of May to poetic spring imagery; the name also echoes Satsuki azaleas that flower around late May to early June.

In the classical calendar, Satsuki named the fifth lunar month; month names entered given-name use from Edo-Meiji onward. The name is unisex in older records but now skews feminine. Romanization is typically Hepburn Satsuki (Kunrei Satuki). Nicknames include Satsu and Satchan, and Satsuki also occurs as a rare surname. Related seasonal variants include Uzuki (April) and Minazuki (June). Core meaning: 'May' or '(early/blooming) moon' linked to late-spring renewal.
