A Latin name gently fading from the charts.
A diminutive of the female given name Victoria, also used as a formal given name.
Vicky is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin origin, a diminutive of Victoria — from the Latin victoria, meaning 'victory.' Queen Victoria, who reigned over the British Empire for 63 years, made this one of the defining names of the 19th century.
Vicky carries the relaxed warmth of a beloved nickname — all of Victoria's regal heritage wrapped in an approachable, friendly package.
Vicky was #1497 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #4642, but its charm endures.
