What is the meaning of the name Liliko ?

Liliko is Hawaiian in Origin.

Liliko is a contemporary given name with Hawaiian and English resonances. In Hawaiian, liko means “bud; new leaf,” a poetic symbol of fresh growth, and the related term lilikoi names the passion fruit; Liliko reads as a pared-back blend of these forms. The name also echoes English Lily and, by analogy, the Japanese feminine suffix -ko (“child”), although Liliko itself is not a traditional Japanese construction.

Documented usage is very rare but present in late-20th and 21st-century, especially in multicultural and Pacific-influenced communities. Usage is typically feminine; Liko in Hawaiian is unisex. Variants and related forms include Liko (Hawaiian), Lilikoi (sometimes written with Hawaiian diacritics), Lili, Lilyko/Lily-ko, and the Japanese Ririko. Meanings follow origin: “bud; new growth” from Hawaiian Liko, “passion fruit” by association with Lilikoi, or “lily,” long linked to purity and renewal. Common nicknames are Lili, Kiko, and Ko.
