Nikki Origin and Meaning

The name Nikki is a boy's name.

Nikki as a masculine name represents a diminutive form of Nicholas or Nikolas, though it's more commonly used for females in many Western cultures. Derived from the Greek name Nikolaos, it means 'victory of the people.' For boys, Nikki has gained traction as an independent name particularly in Nordic countries and occasionally in English-speaking regions. The name offers a friendly, approachable quality with its short form and easy pronunciation. While less common for males than females in the United States and United Kingdom, its usage for boys has remained steady in a limited fashion. Parents may choose Nikki for their sons seeking a name that combines traditional roots with a contemporary, slightly unconventional feel.
