Pinkey

Pinkey is an uncommon feminine name with several possible origins. It likely developed as a nickname referring to the color pink or the smallest finger before eventually becoming used as a given name. In some Indian contexts, particularly in Hindi, Pinky (sometimes spelled Pinkey) means "little one" or can be associated with the flower. The name has a playful, endearing quality that evokes cheerfulness and warmth. While never achieving widespread popularity as a formal given name in Western countries, it has been used occasionally in the United States, particularly during the mid-20th century. Pinkey carries a youthful, affectionate character that maintains its distinctive charm into adulthood.

As of October 2026, Pinkey ranked #7532 in US births in 1964 SSA, peaked at #891 in 1889.
