kíková

Kíková is a surname of Czech and Slovak origin. It is a feminine form used in Czech and Slovak naming conventions and is commonly found among people with Czech or Slovak heritage, including members of diaspora communities.

In Czech and Slovak onomastics, many female surnames are formed by adding the suffix -ová to a masculine base. Kíková thus represents the feminine counterpart of a base such as Kík or Kik, though the exact masculine form can vary by family and region. The name may derive from a nickname, an ancestral given name, or, in some cases, a local toponym, depending on lineage.

Spelling with the diacritic on the i (í) signals standard Czech and Slovak pronunciation; the name is typically rendered as Kíková in official records. In international contexts or in data systems that omit diacritics, it may appear as Kikova, but the traditional form retains the accent.

Distributionwise, Kíková is most common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is also found among communities abroad through migration and in countries with Czech- or Slovak-descended populations, where the surname may be carried by families for generations or generations of descendants.
