What People Usually Mean by This Name
From the Arabic root ش-ك-ر (to be grateful), Choukri is the North African French spelling of Shukri, the nisba: 'of gratitude', the one whose life is characterised by thankfulness.
The Quran uses the same root in Surah Aal-Imran (3:144): 'And Allah will reward those who are grateful (al-shakireen).' Shukr in classical Islamic ethics is the highest reciprocation of divine favour: recognising the blessing, thanking the giver, and using the blessing for the good.
The name is honoured in Mohamed Choukri (1935 to 2003), the Moroccan Berber author whose novel al-Khubz al-Hafi (For Bread Alone) became one of the great works of modern Arabic literature. Choukri is used across Morocco and the North African diaspora.
