Suket is Indian in Origin.

Suket is a masculine given name of Indo-Aryan origin, from Sanskrit su (“good, excellent”) + keta/ketas (“perception, counsel; thought”). It thus conveys “of good judgment,” “well-advised,” or “one with a noble mind.” In classical usage the closely related form Suketu appears in the Ramayana as the name of a Yaksha chieftain, lending the name mytho‑literary depth. The toponym Suket - once a hill state in today’s Himachal Pradesh - has also helped keep the form visible in North India.

Today Suket is used in Hindi- and Gujarati-speaking communities and among the diaspora, sometimes chosen as a streamlined modern spelling of Suketu. Variants and transliterations include Suketu (more traditional), Suketh (South Indian spelling), and Sooket; a rare feminine counterpart Suketā/Suketa exists in Sanskritized usage. The name’s meanings cluster around wisdom and auspicious guidance, with an added echo of “ketu” as a sign or banner, suggesting one who leads by a favorable signal.
