What is the meaning of the name Kulli ?

Kulli is in Origin.

Kulli is best understood as an Estonian feminine name corresponding to Külli, a short form of Küllike. It stems from the Estonian word küll, meaning “plenty, abundance” and by extension “generosity” or “enough.” The spelling Kulli commonly appears when the diacritic in Külli is dropped in international contexts. A closely related Finnic cognate is Finnish Kyllikki, built on the same root (kyllä “yes, plenty”).

Use as a given name in Estonia grew in the 20th century as Külli/Kulli became established independent of longer forms. While chiefly Estonian, it remains recognizable across the Finnic world. Variants and related forms include Külli, Külli (transcription with diaeresis), Kylli, Küllike, and Finnish Kyllikki; masculine counterparts are not customary. The name’s core meaning highlights abundance and warm sufficiency, making Kulli an appealing choice for parents seeking a concise, culture-rooted name with a positive, generous resonance.
