What is the meaning of the name Sukhi ?

The baby name Sukhi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SOO-khee (/sukʰiː/).

Sukhi is Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sukhi is a unisex given name from South Asia, deriving from Sanskrit sukha “ease, happiness, well‑being” (su- “good” + kha “aperture/space”), contrasted with duḥkha “suffering.” In Hindi, Punjabi, and Nepali, sukhi is the everyday adjective “happy, content, prosperous,” and in Pali/Buddhist liturgy it appears in blessings such as “Sukhi hontu” (“may you be well”).

As a personal name, Sukhi appears across North India and the Sikh diaspora, often as an affectionate short form of Sukh‑ compounds (Sukhdeep, Sukhwinder, Sukhbir, Sukhmani), yet also used independently for boys and girls since the 20th century. Spellings and variants include Sukhee and Sookhi; the clipped Sukh occurs as a nickname. The name carries connotations of serenity and good fortune, making it popular for families seeking a simple, upbeat choice with spiritual resonance.
