Nicci Origin and Meaning

The name Nicci is a girl's name.

Nicci is a feminine name functioning primarily as a diminutive form of Nicole or Nicola, which derive from the Greek name Nicholas meaning 'victory of the people.' This short, snappy variation emerged as a nickname but has been used as an independent given name since the late 20th century. The double 'c' spelling gives Nicci a contemporary feel compared to the also-used Nicki or Nicky variants. While never reaching high popularity rankings, Nicci has maintained steady if modest usage, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name has a youthful, friendly quality that can transition well into adulthood, appealing to parents looking for something concise yet connected to traditional naming roots.
