History & Origin
Nikky is a spelling of Nikki, the friendly short form of Nicole and Nicola, from the Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people.' Short -i and -y forms like this became stand-alone birth names in the informal mid-to-late twentieth century, and Nikky is one of the rarer spellings in that family.
The name in this form was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its peak and to barely more than a hundred over a long, thin run reaching into recent years. A Nikky given the name at its later peak is a young woman now, and it still reads as a warm, casual short form.
