Souk

Souk is a name of Lao origin, deeply rooted in the culture and language of Laos. In Lao culture, names often carry significant meanings, reflecting positive attributes or hopes for the child's future. 'Souk' directly translates to 'happiness' or 'joy,' making it a popular choice for parents wishing for a joyful life for their child. Its simplicity and positive connotation contribute to its enduring appeal.

The name is used for both males and females in Laos, which is common for many Lao names that convey abstract qualities rather than gender-specific roles.
