Anuliki is Igbo in Origin.

Anuliki is an Igbo given name from southeastern Nigeria. It stems from the noun ànùlì (joy, celebration) and is closely related to Anulika, formed with the comparative/superlative particle ka (greater). As a spelling and dialectal variant, Anuliki carries the same sense: “joy is greatest,” “joy prevails,” or “joy abounds.” The name is used predominantly for girls, though many Igbo virtue names function unisex.

Usage rose in the 20th century with the modernization of name recording and the Igbo diaspora, where simple, uplifting virtue names traveled well. Common variants include Anulika, Anulike, and the shorter Anuli; theophoric extensions such as Chianulika/Chianulike (God makes joy supreme) also occur. Related forms or nicknames include Nuli and Lika. While not among the most widespread Igbo names, Anuliki appears in church records, school lists, and contemporary Nigerian media, valued for its optimistic, celebratory meaning.
