Tsuy is Japanese in Origin.

Tsuy is an uncommon modern given name or nickname with Japanese roots, most often a clipped form of names beginning with Tsuyo- or Tsuyu-. In Japanese, the stem tsuyo- (written with kanji such as 強 “strong,” 剛 “sturdy,” or 毅 “resolute”) appears in classic given names like Tsuyoshi (masculine) and Tsuyoko (feminine), and lends Tsuy the broad sense of strength and resilience. A near-homophonous root, tsuyu, written 露 “dew” or 梅雨 “rainy season,” can also inform the name’s imagery with ideas of freshness and early-summer rains.

As a standalone, Tsuy is rare in Japan but has seen occasional use in the late 20th and 21st centuries in the Japanese diaspora as an anglicized short form. Related forms and variants include Tsuyoshi, Tsuyoko, and Tsuyu; meaning ultimately depends on the kanji chosen if expanded back to a full Japanese name. Gender use is typically unisex.
