Sook-ja, also spelled Suk-ja, is a Korean given name. According to South Korean government data, it was the fifth-most popular name for newborn girls in 1940.[1] 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.[2] By 1950 there were no names ending in "ja" in the top ten.[3] The characters used to write this name can also be read as a number of different Japanese female given names, including Yoshiko and Toshiko.[4]

People with this name include:

  • Kim Sook-ja (1926–1991), South Korean pansori musician
  • Hong Sook-ja (born 1933), South Korean diplomat and writer
