What is the meaning of the name Kika ?

The baby name Kika is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KEE-ka.

Kika is Germanic, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Kika is best documented as an Iberian hypocoristic of Francisca, the Spanish and Portuguese feminine of Late Latin Franciscus.

The ending -ica/-ika marks an affectionate diminutive, with k reflecting the hard c.

In Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, Kika appears chiefly as a familiar form rather than a formal baptismal name, parallel to Quica and related to Italian Francesca, German Franziska, and French Françoise. Its saintly background comes through Francisca from Saint Francis of Assisi, though the nickname itself has no separate cultic tradition. Modern appearances include Pedro Almodóvar’s 1993 film Kika; Japanese uses depend on chosen kanji, not one inherited meaning.
