What is the meaning of the name Vicky ?

The baby name Vicky is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈvɪki/ (VIK-ee).

Vicky is Latin in Origin.

Vicky is an English diminutive most often of Victoria, from Latin victoria "victory," and at times of Victor, from Latin victor "conqueror." While largely feminine in Europe and North America, the nickname also appears as a masculine or unisex short form in South Asia, where it can abbreviate a range of Vi- names (Vikram, Vikas, Vijay, Vivek), and it functions in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts as a friendly pet form of Victoria.

In the English-speaking world, Vicky surged in the mid-20th century amid a fashion for brisk, nickname-style given names, peaking in the 1950s-70s before receding; today it reads approachable and slightly vintage, and is used both independently and as an informal short form. Spellings and close variants include Vicki, Vickie, Vikki, Vickey, and Viki; related diminutives and cognates are Vic and Tori for Victoria, plus Vika (Russian/Ukrainian) and Viki (Hungarian) from Viktoria.
