Viki

Girl name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Viki: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1991.

Viki is a Hungarian and Slavic diminutive of Victoria, ultimately from the Latin *victoria*, meaning "victory." While the longer form Victoria has many famous bearers in Scotland, Viki herself is notably associated with Viki the Viking, a beloved children’s television character who embodies adventure and mischief. In the world of real-life achievers, Hungarian actress Viki Sára provides a cultural touchstone, though the name remains relatively rare in Scotland. The root word *victoria* also links to the historic Loch Victoria in the Scottish Highlands, though this is more a nod to Queen Victoria than to the name alone. Viki offers a sprightly, less formal alternative to Victoria, with a cheerful Eastern European charm that feels both familiar and distinctive.
