The baby name Shaukath is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈʃɔːkət/ (SHAW-kut).

Shaukath is Arabic in Origin.

Shaukath is a South Asian transliteration of the Arabic name Shawkat (Arabic: شوكت), from the root sh-w-k meaning “thorn, spine,” figuratively “power, strength, military might.” Through Persian and Urdu it acquired the sense of “majesty, dignity, prestige,” and has long been used across Muslim communities in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Gulf, with diaspora use in East Africa and Southeast Asia. Historical texts and poetry in Persian/Urdu use shaukat to denote pomp and splendor, supporting its adoption as a given name from the late medieval to modern periods.

Common variants include Shaukat and Shawkat; regional spellings such as Shawkath and Shoukath appear in South India. Related forms in other languages are Turkish/Bosnian Şevket/Ševket. The name carries connotations of vigor, honor, and noble bearing. Surnominal use is also attested in South Asia. Gender is typically masculine, though the element appears in compound names for any gender.
