Kikin is in Origin.
Kikin is a modern hypocoristic built on the base Kiki. In Spanish-speaking contexts, the accented form Kikín uses the affectionate diminutive -ín and is applied to nicknames like Kiki, Kiko, or Quique, themselves short for Enrique and Francisco. As a register name it remains uncommon but appears in civil records in Latin America and the U.S., reflecting the trend of elevating pet forms to given names. The name is generally unisex where Kiki is used.
Usage has been primarily informal; wider recognition in Mexico came via footballer José Francisco “Kikín” Fonseca in the 2000s. In Slavic contexts Kikin (Кикин) is documented as a Russian surname, not a given name. Meaning is affectionate rather than lexical: “little/dear Kiki.” If traced to Enrique/Heinrich it inherits “home ruler,” and if to Francisco it echoes “Frenchman” or “free one.” Variants and related forms include Kikín, Kiki, Kiko, Quique, and Kika.
