Chiquis is Spanish in Origin.
Chiquis is a Spanish affectionate nickname that functions as a given name in some communities. It derives from chico/chica (“boy/girl”) through the diminutives chiquito/chiquita and the colloquial clipping chiqui; the -is ending is a playful vocative common in Mexican and Caribbean Spanish. The core meaning is “little one,” extending to “dear small one” or simply “sweetheart,” and it is not tied to size so much as tenderness.
As a legal first name, Chiquis is rare but recognizable, boosted by the American singer and television personality Chiquis Rivera (born Janney Marín), which has introduced it to wider audiences in the United States and Latin America. The name is used for girls most often but can be unisex as a nickname. Variants and related forms include Chiqui, Chikis/Chiki, Chiquita, Chiquito, and the Basque cognate Txiki.
