The name Loki, pronounced as LOH-kee (/ˈloʊki/), is of Norse origin and is famously associated with the Norse god of mischief and trickery. This intriguing name has seen a steady rise in popularity in the United States over the past two decades, reflecting its growing appeal among parents seeking unique and mythologically rich names for their sons. Variations of the name include Loke and Lokki. The character of Loki has been popularized in modern culture through comic books and films, particularly within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he is depicted as a complex antihero. This cultural resurgence has likely contributed to its increasing use as a baby name. Despite its somewhat mischievous connotations, Loki carries an air of mystery and intelligence that many find appealing for their children.
