Nicky is a name of Greek origin, meaning 'victory of the people'. It's often used as a diminutive for Nicholas, but can also stand alone as a given name. Nicky gained popularity in the mid-20th century and was particularly prevalent during the 1950s and 1960s.
The name Nicky has seen a significant rise and fall in popularity over the decades. With only 6 births recorded in 2021 and 2023, it seems to have lost some of its appeal among parents in recent years. The most popular period for the name was between 1955 and 1974, with a peak of 57 births in 1980. However, after reaching this high point, the popularity of Nicky has steadily declined, indicating that it may now be considered somewhat outdated or old-fashioned by many parents.
