Aliki

Aliki is a Greek feminine name functioning as a diminutive form of Alice, which itself derives through Old French and Medieval Latin from the Germanic name Adalheidis, composed of the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name is familiar throughout Greece and Cyprus as an affectionate short form. The Greek actress and singer Aliki Vougiouklaki, one of the most beloved figures in twentieth-century Greek cinema, made the name widely popular in the mid-1900s. Related forms include Alice, Alicia, and Adelaide.
