churi ! thats me !! it means "star" in kwaytikíndo (purí language or prr on the ethnologue)
can also be spelled chúri, shuri, šuri, tsure, txúri, txuri, suri, and thats all the spellings i can think of !!

how do you pronounce my name ? great question, thank you for asking !! its a name written in brazilian portuguese, so chu is NOT pronounced tchu. i am not a churro !!

in brazilian portuguese, the ch sound creates the š or sh sound. so churi is really šuri or shuri !! the emphasis is on the first syllable, making my name šūrī. additionally, the r is flipped. so actually it's šū/ɾī.

"can you skip over the whole language thing and tell me how id actually pronounce this ???" yeah sorry. its SHOO-ree.

"since its a native word, shouldnt i NOT say it ?" no no, please do :) its my name, please call me by it !! it really means a lot to me ^^
