Nickie Origin and Meaning

The name Nickie is a boy's name.

Nickie is a masculine diminutive form of Nicholas, which comes from the Greek name Nikolaos, combining 'nike' (victory) and 'laos' (people), meaning 'victory of the people.' As a nickname-turned-formal name, Nickie offers a friendlier, more approachable alternative to the more formal Nicholas. Popular primarily in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century, Nickie peaked in usage during the 1960s and 1970s. The name has a youthful, endearing quality that some parents find appealing. While less common now than in previous decades, Nickie maintains a casual charm and familiarity. Some may also spell it Nicky or Nicki, though the latter spelling is more commonly used for girls.
