Meaning & origin
Vicki, a diminutive of Victoria, enjoyed its peak popularity in 1954, ranking among the top names for girls during that era. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1914 and saw steady use through the mid-20th century. Since 1985, however, its usage has steadily declined, and it has not ranked in the top 1000 in recent years. Despite its fall from favor, Vicki remains a familiar short form with a friendly, approachable sound.
Vicki originated as a diminutive of Victoria, the feminine form of the Latin name Victorius, derived from victoria meaning 'victory'. It became popular in the English-speaking world from the early 20th century, especially in the 1950s when it peaked in rank.
