Sook-ja, also spelled Suk-ja, is a Korean female given name. According to South Korean government data, it was the fifth-most popular name for newborn girls in 1940. [1] The characters used to write this name can also be read as a number of different Japanese female given names, including Yoshiko and Toshiko. [2]
There are 13 hanja with the reading " sook" and 28 hanja with the reading "ja" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. [3] Typically, "ja" is written with the hanja meaning "child" ( 子). It is one of a number of Japanese-style names ending in "ja", like Young-ja and Jeong-ja, that were popular when Korea was under Japanese rule, but declined in popularity afterwards. [4] By 1950 there were no names ending in "ja" in the top ten. [5]
