Kiki
Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kiki: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2013.
Kiki is most commonly a lively diminutive, often of names like Kirsten, Christina, or Kiran, though it also stands alone as a Japanese name meaning “hope” or “chronicle.” Singer Kiki Dee, known for her duet “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” with Elton John, brought the name into the pop spotlight, while artist Kiki Smith has gained acclaim for her sculpture and printmaking. The Greek singer Kiki (Eleni) added a Mediterranean flair. No major places bear the name, but the gentle association with Studio Ghibli’s animated film *Kiki’s Delivery Service* gives it a whimsical, independent charm. Variants such as KeeKee or Kiki as a nickname for Katherine keep it playful yet versatile.
