Suni is the chosen-name short form of Sunisa Phabsomphou Lee, born 2003 — also from the Hmong sunisa (pure goodness). NCAA all-around champion at Auburn (2022). Diagnosed in 2023 with two rare kidney diseases (incurable) that nearly ended her career; her comeback to the 2024 Olympics was Time Athlete of the Year shortlist. Father John Lee was paralyzed two days before her US Championships in 2019; she competed and won; her father watched from his hospital bed.
Subject of countless 2020s gymnastics histories.
Suni does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Suni reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
