Mokey is a rare, modern given name in English, typically used as a friendly nickname-style choice. It often functions as a pet form for Mo‑ names such as Monica, Morgan, Moses, or Maurice. In a different stream, Mokey can also be an Anglicized rendering of the East Slavic name Mokiy (Мокий), ultimately from Greek Mokios (Μώκιος), the name of an early Christian martyr revered in the Eastern Church; the original meaning of Mokios is uncertain.

Documented English usage is sparse, with wider recognition coming from the gentle, artistic character Mokey in the 1980s series Fraggle Rock. Variants and related forms include Mokie, Moki, and Mokee; Slavic and ecclesiastical forms are Mokiy/Mokij, Mokios, and the Latinized Mocius. Nicknames include Mo and Key. As a diminutive, Mokey inherits the meanings of its source name (e.g., Monica ‘advisor,’ Moses ‘drawn from water,’ Morgan ‘sea-born’); as an independent name, its meaning remains undefined.
