Tikki is of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit word 'tikka', meaning 'mark' or 'dot'. It is traditionally used as a nickname for individuals named Tikaram, which means 'sacrifice'. Tikki is often associated with joy and celebration in Indian culture, as it is also the name of the festival Tikka, celebrated during Holi.
The name Tikki had an inconsistent popularity between the years of 1972 and 1978, with peaks in 1972 and 1975 (both having 6 births) and valleys in 1974 and 1978 (both having 5 births). Overall, Tikki was given to a total of 22 babies during this period.
