“A whimsical, term-of-endearment style name that emerged in early 20th-century American culture, often given as a nickname or pet name before becoming a standalone given name. The name evokes sweetness, affection, and vintage Americana charm, with associations to blues and jazz culture where 'sugar' was a common term of address. It carries a playful, unconventional spirit that appeals to parents seeking distinctive, spirited names.”
