Zeki Origin and Meaning

The name Zeki is a boy's name of Turkish origin meaning "clever, intelligent; pure".

This mini name is more spunky than Zack or Zeke, but shares those well-loved sounds. In Ethiopia, Zeki means "pure", and is pronounced "zeh-KEE", with emphasis on the second syllable. With the rise of trending Zakai and similar names into the US charts, Zeki has potential.
