Vickey Origin and Meaning

The name Vickey is a girl's name.

Vickey is a diminutive form of Victoria, ultimately derived from the Latin 'victoria' meaning 'victory.' This spelling variation emerged as a nickname that eventually became used as an independent given name, particularly during the mid-20th century. Compared to the more common spelling 'Vicky,' this version with an added 'e' gives the name a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining the same friendly, approachable sound. Vickey enjoyed its greatest popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting the tendency during that era to use diminutives as formal names. While less common today, it retains a cheerful, vintage charm that may appeal to parents seeking names with mid-century appeal.
