Tiki is a unisex name with Polynesian origins, particularly associated with Māori culture. In Polynesian mythology, Tiki was the first man created by the gods, and the term refers to carved human figures that serve as religious symbols. The name carries rich cultural significance across many Pacific Island traditions. Beyond its Polynesian roots, Tiki gained popularity in Western cultures during the mid-20th century tiki bar trend that appropriated Polynesian aesthetics. As a given name, Tiki remains quite rare but has a playful, tropical feel that appeals to some parents seeking unusual names. Its brevity and distinctive sound make it memorable, though potential cultural appropriation concerns should be considered by non-Polynesian families.

The name Tiki peaked for girls at #2506 in 1975. Tiki is occasionally used for boys in 2008.
