Kaimakli ( ; or ) is a large northeastern suburb of Nicosia, Cyprus. Since 1968, it belongs to the Municipality of Nicosia. Its population in 2011 was 11,564. The neighbourhood is divided by the green line, with the northern part of the suburb Kuchuk Kaimakli / Omorfita (Greek: Ομορφίτα [omorˈfita]; Turkish: Küçük Kaymaklı [cyˈtʃyc kajmakˈɫɯ]) lying in the north of the green line.
==Etymology== Kaimakli derives from the Turkish word "kaymak" which means clotted cream, and by extension, the name of the neighbourhood literally means "with clotted cream". The term also applies to the froth on top of a cup of Turkish coffee. Rupert Gunnis states that the suburb took its name from a farm that produced clotted cream.
