Flicka

Scandinavian female name

Flicka is a Swedish word meaning girl, used in English primarily as a name for horses—especially mares or fillies.

The usage comes from the 1941 novel *My Friend Flicka* and its film adaptations, which popularized it as a horse name suggesting spirit and beauty: She named her new filly Flicka.
