Tilki is a Turkish surname, derived from a nickname meaning "fox" in Turkish. The name reflects a common tradition in Turkish naming practices of using animal names as nicknames that eventually became surnames, often associated with characteristics attributed to the animal—such as cleverness, cunning, or agility—much like the English surname Fox. The surname is most prominently known through notable bearers such as Aleyna Tilki (born 2000), a popular Turkish singer and songwriter, and Attila Tilki (born 1967), a Hungarian jurist and politician, indicating the name's presence beyond Turkey. Additionally, Tilki appears as a place name in Turkey, for example the neighborhood of Tilki in Kalecik, Ankara. Meaning: "fox"Origin: TurkishType: SurnameUsage Regions: Turkey
