Ziggy Origin and Meaning
The name Ziggy is a girl's name meaning "victory".
Fitting in with Scottie, Stevie, Frankie, and Birdie, Ziggy is a nickname-y choice that feels energetic, cutesy, and cool. Borrowing star quality from Ziggy Stardust and Ziggy Marley, Ziggy is predominantly used on boys, however, since the death of David Bowie in 2016, it has been quietly gathering attention as a girls name, with 43 babies given the name in a recent year.
If you love Ziggy, but would prefer it use it as a nickname, you could consider Sigrid, Zinnia, Agnes, Agneza, Grazia, Graziana, Zariah, Zipporah, Kensington / Kenzington, Sieglinde - or any name, if you're happy to use it as a generic nickname along the lines of Scout, Birdie, or Honey.
