SUCI

Suci is a word and name used in Malay-speaking communities and in Indonesia and Malaysia. In Indonesian and Malay, suci functions as an adjective meaning pure, holy, or clean. It is used to describe physical cleanliness as well as moral or ritual purity. In religious contexts, the term denotes something free from impurity. The phrase air suci is commonly used to refer to pure or clean water and is used in everyday language.

As a given name, Suci is a feminine name in Indonesia and other Malay-speaking regions. It is used on its own or as part of compound names. The name carries positive associations with purity and virtue.

In onomastic use, Suci may appear in literature, media, or personal naming, and may also be encountered as a surname or place name in some cases, though it is predominantly a personal given name.

The word is distinct from unrelated terms in other languages; capitalization distinguishes it when used as a name (Suci) from the common adjective (suci).
