Kouki is a Japanese given name that has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in countries like Japan and France. It's often used for both boys and girls due to its unisex nature. The name Kouki comes from the Japanese word "kōki," which means "light." It can also be associated with the phrase "ko to ki," meaning "child of tree spirit" or "spirit child," adding a touch of mystique to the name. Pronunciation varies by language and region, but it's typically pronounced as /'kou-ki/ in Japanese. Despite its growing popularity, Kouki remains relatively rare outside of Japan, making it an intriguing choice for parents looking for a unique yet culturally rich name for their child.
