Etymology

The word 'kooky' originated in the United States during the mid-20th century. It is believed to be derived from the earlier term 'cookoo,' which has its roots in the word 'cuckoo.' The cuckoo bird is often associated with unusual or erratic behavior, making it a fitting association. In popular culture, 'kooky' became widely used, especially in the context of describing playful eccentricities or humorous quirks in personality. Over time, it has continued to evolve as a term used to celebrate individuality while remaining grounded in the notion of being a little odd or unconventional.
