Seul-ki, also spelled Seul-gi or Sul-ki, is a Korean unisex given name, predominantly feminine. It was the 8th-most popular name for baby girls born in South Korea in 1990.[1] Unlike most Korean names, it does not have any Sino-Korean roots, but is an indigenous Korean language word meaning "wisdom". It is one of a number of such native names (called 고유어 이름) that have been becoming more popular in South Korea in recent decades.[2][3]
