Nico Origin and Meaning

The name Nico is a boy's name of Greek origin meaning "people of victory".

Nico is one of the great nickname names, full of charm, energy and effortless cool -- a neo Nick.

Nico is commonly heard in Italy -- as a short form of Niccolo -- and also in France, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Spanish-speaking countries.

As a unisex nickname name, Nico is associated with the German-born single-named Velvet Underground singer (nee Christa) promoted by Andy Warhol. And Nico Reilly was one of the female leads on the TV series Lipstick Jungle. But over 90% of the American babies named Nico are boys.
