(HAHL-lee-kee; HELL-lee-kee)
The names could either be related or possibly be of two completely origins, Halliki could be a derivative of the Estonian word hallikas meaning “greyish” and Helliki could be used as an alternative. Likewise, Helliki could be a derivative of the Estonian word hellik meaning “soft; tender.”
In Estonia, both names share the same name-day, March 3.
