Fulki is Indian in Origin.

Fulki has dual roots across cultures. In South Asia (Bengali, Assamese, Hindi-Urdu), Fulki/Phulki derives from phul “flower” and from the Bengali noun fulki meaning “tiny spark, spray,” giving the affectionate sense “little flower” or “sparkle.” It is used chiefly as a feminine nickname-turned-given-name in the modern era, prized for its light, lively imagery and easy sound. Regional spellings include Phulki, Phoolki, and Fulkee.

A separate European thread links the sound to the medieval name Fulk/Fulke (Old French Foulques, Latin Fulco), from a West Germanic root folk/fulc “people.” While Fulki itself is not the historical form, parents sometimes adopt it as a softer contemporary variant alongside Folke and Fowke. Thus, meanings associated with the name range from “spark; little flower” in Indic languages to “of the people” in the Germanic tradition. Related variants: Fulk, Fulke, Folke, Foulques.
