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] The word itself is a native Korean word meaning "wisdom" and does not have corresponding hanja.[2] However, since Korean given names can be created arbitrarily, it may also be a name with hanja (e.g. 璱起).[3]
