I really like words that have “ts” sound in them, like tsunami, any ideas for names?

I know someone called Tsuru, but the T is largely silent

Apparently there is a Hebrew name Tsila or Tzila.

Searching gives quite a lot of Bulgarian names. Apparently Ralitsa is a name meaning "larkspur", that's quite nice.

Or

All of these names are uncommon in Japanese.

Re the darkgreener list, I have actually come across a 'Tsuki'

Ok wow did not see this coming, I think it a completely reasonable request, albeit uncommon in UK, hence why I made the thread. It would be middle name material for us, but no reason why it couldn’t be first name. This thread is almost as bad as the Bohden thread I read, which is a perfectly common name in a few different languages!

I’ve met a Moritz (German) and a Tatsuya (Japanese) before and really like it. I’ve always loved “z” words in German which are pronounced with an edge like “ts”.

I love the Hebrew name Tsila, it means shade from an initial google, thank you @OrangeAndYellowAndBlue!

Tsivia is a Hebrew girls name

My cousin is called Betsan - I think it's very pretty.

BoarOnTheFloor · 04/11/2021 23:29

Not quite the same, but Natsuki or Satsuki.

Itzela
Itzhak

Itza apparently means moon goddess but all I can hear are confusing conversations when you announce, it’s a girl, Itza.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 04/11/2021 23:33

Would you consider marrying a Greek man (eg Tsauossis, Tsinides) and having the sound in a surname? That way you get Ts in your name too.

Tzatziki

What about Zenzi? It’s a German name (short for Kreszenz).

There’s a character in a children’s tv show called Tsuni. She’s a mermaid that works in a comic book shop.

Sassymcsasserson · 04/11/2021 23:56

Only name I can think of with a t and s sound is Tamsin. Probably not what you're going for though sorry.

KirstenBlest · 05/11/2021 10:55

Tsetse

TheSpiral · 05/11/2021 11:02

I’m learning Russian, the Russian alphabet has a letter for ts or tz - ц if that works. Like in tsar. So there are may be Russian names with that sound although I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

NowEvenBetter · 05/11/2021 13:32

You didn’t clarify what noise it is you like in ‘tsunami’, is it the silent T, or the S noise?

KirstenBlest · 05/11/2021 13:34

The T isn't silent if you say the word in the japanses way. Guess what, it isn't Soon Army

KirstenBlest · 05/11/2021 13:36

It's more like tz'n ami
