Nikey is Greek in Origin.

Nikey is a modern English given name and nickname with Greek roots. Depending on the source, it either reflects Nike (Νίκη), the personification of “victory,” or functions as a creative spelling of Nicky/Nikki, pet forms of Nicholas or Nicole from Greek Nikolaos, “victory of the people” (nikē + laos). It is typically pronounced NYE-kee in reference to Nike, or NIK-ee when treated as a variant of Nicky, and is used for all genders.

Though Nike as a name is attested in classical and modern Greek, the -y ending marks Nikey as an English development that appears sporadically from the late 20th century, its recognition enhanced by the sportswear brand’s global profile. The name remains rare and informal, most common as a familiar form.
