What is the meaning of the name Kiko ?

The baby name Kiko is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkiːkoʊ/ (English approximation: KEE-koh),/ˈkiko/ (Spanish/Japanese IPA: KEE-koh with shorter vowels).

Kiko is Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Kiko is a cross-cultural given name and nickname. In Japanese, Kiko (written きこ or with kanji such as 紀子 “chronicle/era child,” 希子 “hope child,” 貴子 “noble/precious child,” or 喜子 “joy child”) is typically feminine and dates to the early 20th century; a prominent bearer is Princess Kiko of Japan. Because the meaning depends on the chosen characters, parents can tailor nuance while keeping the light, two-syllable sound (pronounced KEE-koh).

In Iberian and Latin traditions, Kiko functions mainly as a masculine diminutive, most often from Francisco, but also from Enrique/Henrique or Federico, and is common in Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and the Philippines. It is frequently used independently as a given name. Related variants include Quico (Catalan/Spanish), Quique (for Enrique), Chico, and the feminine Kika (for Francisca). As a nickname, it carries affectionate, lively connotations rather than a fixed semantic meaning.
