Shizuki is Japanese in Origin.

Shizuki is a Japanese given name (and less commonly a surname) whose meaning shifts with the kanji. Common elements include shizu/静 (“quiet, calm”) and -zuki, a rendaku form of tsuki/月 (“moon”), yielding spellings like 静月 “serene moon,” 詩月 “poetic moon,” or 志月 “aspired moon.” Other formations end with ki - 希, 樹, 貴, 紀 - creating senses such as “quiet hope” (静希) or “calm tree” (静樹). It may also be written entirely in kana (しずき).

As a given name it is modern and relatively rare, gaining notice in late Shōwa and Heisei-era naming, with 月/詩 forms skewing feminine and 樹/希 forms reading as unisex. As a surname, Shizuki appears in the Edo period (e.g., rangaku scholar Shizuki Tadao, 志筑忠雄), tied to the place-name 志筑 in Awaji. Related names include Shizuka, Shizue, and Shizuku; older romanization may appear as Sizuki; diminutives include Shizu or Zuki.
