Flicka is an English hypocorism for different names. "Flicka" is a Swedish word used in reference to a young girl.

The books were adapted into a movie trilogy and a 1950s television series. 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 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.
