Loki

Loki is a name derived from Norse mythology, where it refers to the god of mischief, trickery, and chaos. In the Norse legends, Loki is a complex and ambiguous figure, often portrayed as both a friend and foe to the other gods.

The name Loki is thought to be derived from the Old Norse word 'logi', meaning 'fire' or 'flame'. This may be a reference to Loki's unpredictable and fiery nature, as well as his association with chaos and destruction.

Despite its mythological roots, the name Loki has gained popularity in recent years, particularly after the character's portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is often chosen by parents who are drawn to its unique sound and mythological significance.

While Loki is traditionally a masculine name, it has also been used for females in some instances, as gender-neutral or unisex names have become more accepted in modern times.
