Locki is English in Origin.

Locki is a modern given name, pronounced LOCK-ee, that blends two sources: the Scottish diminutive Lockie/Lochie from Lachlan (Gaelic Lachlann, from Lochlann, “land of lochs,” a medieval Gaelic term for Scandinavia), and the Old Norse deity name Loki, of uncertain etymology, possibly linked to Old Norse lok, “knot, loop, end,” evoking ideas of tangling or closing. As such, Locki can carry connotations of “from the land of lochs/Viking” alongside a mythic, quick-witted energy.

Usage is contemporary and creative, found chiefly in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, with visibility boosted in the 2010s by pop-cultural portrayals of Loki. Spelling variants include Loki, Lockie, Lochie, Locky, and Lachie; the related formal name is Lachlan. Locki reads as unisex, though it trends male where Lachlan is common, and works well as a nickname or standalone.
