What is the meaning of the name Kilki ?

Kilki is in Origin.

Kilki is a rare modern given name most plausibly tied to the Irish coastal place-name Kilkee, from Irish Cill Chaoi “church of (Saint) Caoidhe/Kee,” giving it a place-based devotional meaning. The form Kilki preserves the brisk two-syllable rhythm (KIL-kee) while softening the spelling. A secondary toponymic echo is Greek Kilkis (Κιλκίς), occasionally adapted in diaspora naming; in both cases the name reads as a locational choice rather than a traditional forename with a standalone lexical sense.

As a given name, Kilki appears sporadically in late-20th and early-21st-century records, aligning with trends that repurpose surnames and locales for first names. Variants and near-forms include Kilkee, Kilkie, and the Greek-influenced Kilkis; pop-culture similarity to Kiliki/Kilikki (a constructed language name) sometimes prompts creative spellings but is etymologically separate. Usable for any gender, Kilki offers crisp nicknames like Kil or Ki and suits families seeking a distinctive, place-rooted choice.
