Kike is in Origin.

Kike is most commonly a Spanish nickname for Enrique, ultimately from Germanic Heimirich via Heinrich/Henry, meaning “home ruler.” Long used across Spain and Latin America, it appears both as an affectionate diminutive and, more recently, as a standalone given name; footballers Kike García and Kike Sola illustrate contemporary usage. Orthographic and regional variants include Quique (standard in Spanish), Kiké, Kiko, and related forms through the Henry family such as Enrique, Henrique, Henri, and Heinrich.

In West Africa, Kike is also a Yoruba hypocoristic, typically feminine, shortened from names like Kikelomo, which conveys the idea of “a child to be cherished/pampered.” Pronounced KEE-keh in both traditions, the name carries warm, familial overtones. Note that in American English the same spelling is an ethnic slur; families in English-speaking contexts often favor Quique or accented Kiké to avoid misunderstanding.
