Etymology
"Lilikin" may be a portmanteau of "Lilliput" and "Munchkin", both of which refer to other fictional diminutive races. Lilliput is one of two islands home to tiny people in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Munchkin, an informal word for a child or a person of short stature, was coined as a group of natives from the Land of Oz books by L. Frank Baum.
