I can't pronounce Sikuli, but Sikuli means "God's Eye" .
In Huichol Indian language, Sikuli means "God's Eye", symbolic of the power of seeing and understanding things unknown.

The origin of the name of Sikuli are published here .

I always say sikuli emphasizing the first syllable, but I met people emphasizing the second syllable.

But IMHO: the u should be pronounced as a plain u as in languages like German (Umleitung, Wunder), Swedish (Upsala) and not as with <you>

The first i like in big and the final one like in bee.

But I make this a bug, with the solution intention, to find an expert about Huichol Indian language, who might make the correct suggestion.
