What is the meaning of the name Kaki ?

The baby name Kaki is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KAH-kee,IPA: /ˈkɑːki/ or /ˈkæki/.

Kaki is Arabic, English, Indonesian, Japanese, Malay in Origin.

Kaki is a cross-cultural name with several roots. In Georgia, it represents a transliteration of Kakhi (კახი), a masculine given name related to the Kakheti region; it appears alongside forms like Kakha and Kakhaber. In Japanese, Kaki can be written with different kanji, most commonly 柿 "persimmon" or 牡蠣 "oyster," making it a rare, nature-inspired unisex choice. In English, Kaki functions as a pet form of Katherine/Catherine, carrying the root meaning "pure" from Greek katharos, and sometimes a nature reference to the persimmon.

Use in Georgia has 20th-century visibility through figures such as Kakhi Asatiani and actor Kakhi Kavsadze. The English nickname gained boutique use in the United States; musician Kaki King is a well-known bearer. Variants and related forms include Kakhi, Kakha, Kakhaber, Cackie/Cacky, and Kaky. Note that Maori kākī names a wading bird, and in Malay/Indonesian kaki means "foot," which may affect perception.
