Kike (Spanish pronunciation: /ˈkike/ KEE-keh; English pronunciation: /ˈkiːkeɪ/ KEE-kay), also spelled Quique, is a Spanish masculine given name, often as a diminutive of Enrique. Because it is spelled identically to an English-language antisemitic slur, the name is sometimes instead spelled Kiké (/kiːˈkeɪ/ kee-KAY) in English, using a French-style acute accent to emphasize the differing pronunciation, although in Spanish this would lead to the mispronunciation.
