Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno vzniklo z rómskeho prídavného mena šukar s významom „pekný, krásny“. Podobu Šukarija ovplyvnil ženský vokatívny tvar šukarije, známy najmä z piesne Čaje šukarije, teda „krásne dievča“. Podobnosť s arabským menom Šukrija je iba hlásková a nepreukazuje spoločný pôvod.
