Flicka is an English feminine hypocorism for different names. It is associated with My Friend Flicka, a 1941 novel by American author Mary O’Hara about a boy and his mustang horse Flicka, its book sequels, and the films and 1950s television series based on the novel.
Flicka was one of a set of identical triplets in Flicka, Ricka, Dicka, the English language translation of a series of Swedish children’s books by Swedish author/illustrator Maj Lindman that were published in the 1930s 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.
