Vikki

Girl name · 718 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Vikki: 718 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 64 births in 1987.

Vikki is most often a diminutive of Victoria, from the Latin "victoria," meaning "victory." The name rose in popularity across the English-speaking world during Queen Victoria’s reign and found its own more casual, spirited form in Vikki during the mid-20th century. The most famous bearer is the American singer Vikki Carr, born Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona, who became a global pop star in the 1960s with hits like "It Must Be Him." There is no significant place connection, but the name shares its victorious root with the state of Victoria in Australia and countless towns worldwide. A notable variant is Vicky, which is more common in Scotland, but Vikki offers a slightly more distinctive spelling while keeping the same upbeat, triumphant feel.
