Sufi is a unisex given name of Persian origin, derived from the Arabic word 'Ṣūfī', which refers to a person who follows the mystical tradition of Sufism. It gained popularity globally due to its association with prominent figures like Rumi and Hazrat Inayat Khan, notable Sufi poets and spiritual leaders respectively.
"Over sixteen years, from 2007 to 2023, the name Sufi experienced a resurgence, with more babies named Sufi born in the latter year (seven) than in the former (five), totalling twelve."
