Vicki

Girl name · 966 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Vicki: 966 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 70 births in 1980.

A diminutive of Victoria, Vicki ultimately derives from the Latin *victoria*, meaning "victory." It gained popularity in the mid-20th century, notably through actress Vicki Michelle (born 1950), best known for her role in the British sitcom *'Allo 'Allo!*. The name also belongs to Vicki Pettersson, an American author of urban fantasy novels. While Victoria has a strong royal association through Queen Victoria, Vicki itself has no direct place connections, though Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, shares the same root. The spelling Vicki was especially fashionable in the 1960s and 70s, and its cheerful, friendly sound makes it a classic yet approachable choice.
