Boy / Girl name · 75 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Niki: 75 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 7 births in 1982.
Niki is most often a short form of Nicholas or Nicole, both from the Greek *Nikolaos*—“victory of the people.” It has stood on its own as a given name since the 20th century, particularly in Europe and Scotland. The most famous bearer is Austrian racing driver Niki Lauda, a three-time Formula One world champion whose remarkable comeback after a near-fatal crash made him a legend. The artist Niki de Saint Phalle brought the name into the art world with her colourful, playful sculptures.
