Etymology
editThe name Suki Teenoi (สุกี้ตี๋น้อย) was selected for its simplicity and ease of recall, designed to be easy for customers to remember. In Thai, Suki refers to a popular style of hot pot, where diners cook various ingredients in a simmering broth at the table. This highlights the restaurant's focus on this beloved and interactive dining experience, a staple of Thai cuisine.[2]
Founder Nuttamon Phisankitchawanit selected the name not only to reflect the restaurant's culinary offering but also to honour her father’s influence on the business. Although her father does not bear the name "Tee" he is the youngest sibling in his family and was affectionately nicknamed "Tee," a common Thai nickname for the youngest or smallest member. He served as an important role model and guide in the early stages of the business. The term Teenoi, meaning "the little one" or "youngest sibling," symbolises both his support and influence, embodying a sense of care and mentorship.[2]
