Flicka (given name)
Flicka is an English hypocorism for different names [1][2][3][4][5] that is also occasionally used as a formal given name.[6] "Flicka" is a Swedish word used in reference to a young girl.[7][8] The nickname is associated with Flicka, a fictional horse in a book trilogy published during the 1940s by American author Mary O’Hara about an American boy and his mustang horse Flicka. The books were adapted into a movie trilogy and a 1950s television series.[9][10] The 2006 American film Flicka and its two sequels were loosely based on the previous books and films. Flicka was also one of a set of fictional identical triplets in Flicka, Ricka, Dicka, the English language translations of a series of Swedish children's books by Swedish author/illustrator Maj Lindman that were published from the 1930s to the 1960s in the Anglosphere. The female triplets were called Rufsi, Tufsi, Tott in the original Swedish editions of the tales published during the 1920s in Sweden.[11][12] Flicka is often used as a name for pets.[13][14] [15] Flicka is also a surname of German origin.
