Mikki

Mikki is a given name and nickname used in several cultures. It commonly functions as a diminutive form of longer names such as Michelle, Michaela, or Mika, and it can also be used as a standalone given name. In Nordic and some Slavic contexts, Mikki may serve as a pet form of Mikko, Mika, or related names.

Spelling and usage vary. Mikki is one of several English-language variants, with Mickey being more widely known as a standalone name. Variants such as Mikky or Mikie are used less frequently. The name can be chosen for its sound, for personal or family reasons, or as a stage or pen name.

In culture and society, Mikki may be encountered as the name of real individuals—across professions from arts to sports—or as a character name in fiction. Because Mikki is a relatively flexible given name, it appears in diverse contexts without a single defining association.

Etymology and related names often point to the broader names Michelle, Michaela, Mika, Mikko, and Mickey, from which Mikki is derived or alongside which it is considered a variant. The name’s usage tends to reflect contemporary naming trends, with popularity fluctuating across regions and generations.
