What does Yuki mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Japanese

Yuki is a Japanese word and given name most commonly associated with the meaning "snow," though the meaning can shift depending on which kanji characters are used to write it — other versions can mean things like "happiness" or "courage." It's used as a name for both people and pets in Japan and has traveled well beyond it.

Yuki has a light, crisp sound that suits a pet with a white or pale coat, or one with a cool, serene temperament. It feels delicate without being fussy.
