About Wilkie

Scottish surname-turned-nickname from William or its female equivalents. Wilkie has ranked for girls just a handful of times since US baby name records began.

Wilkie for boys

William was such a popular name, thanks to the Conquerer, in early England that it gave rise to a range of nicknames, including the distinctly Scottish Wilkie. Heard mostly as a surname these days, it's the middle name of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's son James and the first name of writer Collins. While Wilkie could make an adorable short form for a little boy, we'd recommend a more substantial full name such as, well, William.

Pronounced WIL-kee.

As of October 2026, Wilkie ranked #4275 in US births in 1927 SSA.
