Suge is a modern, largely American unisex given name that began as a nickname from the English word sugar, a long-standing term of endearment. Pronounced SHUG (also heard as SHOOG), it carries connotations of sweetness, charm, and affection associated with its source word.

As a formal name it is rare, but it entered wider awareness in the 1990s through music executive Suge Knight; prior visibility of the sound comes from Shug as a nickname (e.g., Shug Avery in The Color Purple and musician Shuggie Otis). Spelling variants and relatives include Shug, Shugg, Shuggie, and the literal Sugar; in Scotland, Shug is also a pet form of Hugh, lending an alternate traditional link. Suge also coincides with the Japanese word and surname suge (菅), meaning “sedge,” giving the name a subtle nature gloss for those who prefer that interpretation.
