History & Origin
Nickia is a modern elaboration of Nikki or Nicki, the affectionate short forms of Nicole and Nicola. Those names come from the Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people,' formed from nike, 'victory.' Turning a nickname into a fuller birth name was a favorite move of the nineteen-seventies, and Nickia appears on United States birth records from the mid-part of that decade.
It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high in the mid-nineteen-seventies, so a girl named Nickia then would be in her forties today. It reads as a name of its era; Nicole and Nikki remain the familiar forms.
