Meaning & origin
Vickie, a diminutive of Victoria, first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1907. The name saw a sharp rise in popularity during the mid-20th century, reaching its peak in 1956 when it was a top 150 name. Since 1985, its usage has steadily declined, and it has fallen out of the top 1000. In the 1950s, the name was especially fashionable, part of a trend for nickname forms of formal names. While no longer common for newborns, Vickie remains familiar from the baby boom era.
Vickie is a diminutive of Victoria, which derives from the Latin word 'victoria' meaning 'victory'. Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, and the name became common in the Christian era, associated with the victory of Christ. The nickname Vickie or Vicky emerged in the 19th century, particularly in the United States, as a familiar form of Victoria.
