Pinky Origin and Meaning

The name Pinky is a boy's name.

Pinky is an unconventional masculine name that originated as a nickname before occasionally being used as a given name. It typically refers to the smallest finger on the hand or the pinkish color. As a given name for boys, it remains quite rare in Western countries but has seen some usage in India and other South Asian communities. The name carries playful, endearing qualities that challenge traditional masculine naming conventions. Pinky may be used as a diminutive for names like Peter or Paul in some cases, though increasingly it stands on its own. Parents choosing this name might appreciate its cheerful connotations and distinctive character that sets their son apart from more conventional names.
