What is the meaning of the name Miki ?

The baby name Miki is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Japanese: /mi.ki/ — 'mee-kee' (short vowels, equal syllables),English/Slavic/Hebrew: /ˈmiːki/ or /ˈmɪki/ — 'MEE-kee' or 'MIH-kee'.

Miki is Japanese in Origin.

Miki is a multicultural given name and occasional surname with separate origins. In Japanese it is chiefly feminine and can be written with many kanji, notably 美紀 “beautiful chronicle,” 美樹 “beautiful tree,” 美貴 “beautiful nobility,” or 三木 “three trees”; the last also serves as a family name. As a given name it gained visibility in postwar Japan and remains familiar through actresses, idols, and athletes.

Beyond Japan, Miki functions as a friendly diminutive across languages: in Hebrew and modern Israeli usage for Michael or Michaela (meaning “Who is like God?”), and in Central and Slavic Europe for Miklós, Mikołaj, or Nikola, ultimately from Greek Nikolaos “victory of the people.” Variants and cognates include Mickey, Mikey, Mikki, and, in some contexts, Miko; Japanese usage varies by kanji rather than spelling. Compact and upbeat, Miki is widely used as a unisex name.
