Caique Name meanings & History

Brazilian Portuguese. The word "caiçara" (pronounced cai-sah-rah) refers to someone who lives near the sea or the river, and "caiçara" became popular as a given name in Brazil, mainly for boys. The name may be spelled as "Caike," "Caiqui," or "Kayke" and is pronounced as "ka-ee-kee.". Folk etymology likes to consider this name to be of Tupi origin and assigns it the meaning "water bird". Since no etymology or evidence of use by the Tupi people has ever been provided, it is likely that this is a faux-indigenous name. In all likelihood it is a variant of Caíque. Caique is a unique and uncommon name. It is often used in Brazil as a given name for boys only.
