Shakli

Shakli is a proper noun used in multiple languages to refer to more than one topic, including people and places. It does not have a single, universally defined meaning and is encountered in various cultural and linguistic contexts.

In onomastics, Shakli appears as a surname and, less commonly, as a given name in communities influenced by Persian, Turkic, and Caucasian naming traditions. The spelling of the name varies with transliteration and script, with forms such as Shakli and Shaklı occurring in different languages and records.

As a geographic name, Shakli is used for small settlements or geographic features in different regions. Because it is a toponym rather than a single, well-defined place, details like administrative affiliation, population, and history differ by location and source.

Given its cross-cultural usage, accurately identifying a specific Shakli requires context—such as country, language, or whether the reference is to a person or a place. This article provides a general overview of the term’s usage rather than a complete catalog of all individual instances.
