Aulikki is a Finnish feminine given name formed from the native adjective aulis, meaning “willing, eager, generous,” combined with the affectionate/diminutive suffix -kki that appears in several modern Finnish names. The sense carried by Aulikki is that of a helpful, open‑handed or ready-hearted person, and it can also be understood as “little Auli,” tying it to the simpler form Auli.

Entering wider use in Finland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries amid the national romantic movement to promote Finnish-language names, Aulikki saw its greatest popularity in the mid‑1900s and is uncommon today. It remains familiar through notable bearers such as the soprano Aulikki Rautawaara and the writer Aulikki Oksanen. Variants and related forms include Auli (short form) and the masculine Aulis; the spelling and usage are shared across Finnish- and Swedish-speaking communities in Finland, while the name is rare elsewhere.
