Sook-ja, also spelled Suk-ja, is a Korean female given name. According to South Korean government data, it was the fifth-most popular name for newborn girls in 1940. The characters used to write this name can also be read as a number of different Japanese female given names, including Yoshiko and Toshiko.
There are 13 hanja with the reading "sook" and 28 hanja with the reading "ja" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. 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. By 1950 there were no names ending in "ja" in the top ten.
