Vicki Origin and Meaning

The name Vicki is a girl's name.

Vicki is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Victoria, which derives from Latin meaning "victory." This shorter, friendlier version gained significant popularity as an independent name during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. Vicki offers a perky, approachable alternative to the more formal Victoria, reflecting the mid-century preference for cheerful, nickname-style given names. Though its usage has declined since its peak, Vicki maintains associations with warmth and friendliness. The name carries a certain retro charm today, often bringing to mind the lively, can-do spirit of the Baby Boomer generation. Alternative spellings include Vicky and Vickie.
