Quiqui is in Origin.

Quiqui (pronounced KEE-kee) is a Spanish- and Portuguese-usage hypocoristic formed by reduplicating the syllable qui, most often evolving from Quique (a diminutive of Enrique/Enriqueta) and sometimes from Quico/Kiko (linked to Francisco/Francisca). Reduplicated pet names are common across Iberia and Latin America, giving Quiqui a warm, playful tone. While primarily a familial nickname, it has occasionally appeared on civil registries since the late 20th century in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and diaspora communities, and is treated as unisex in contemporary use.

Its meanings depend on the source name: Enrique/Enriqueta comes from Germanic Heinrich, “home ruler” or “ruler of the household,” while Francisco/Francisca derives from Latin Franciscus, “a Frank/Frenchman,” often interpreted as “free one.” Related forms and variants include Quique, Quico, Kiko, and Kiki; the root names are Enrique/Enriqueta and Francisco/Francisca. Quiqui suits parents seeking a light, pan-Hispanic nickname-as-given-name.
