Vickie

Meaning — A diminutive of Victoria, from the Latin victoria meaning "victory", derived from vincere meaning "to conquer". Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, equivalent to the Greek Nike. The name gained particular British associations through Queen Victoria (1819–1901), whose sixty-three-year reign defined an era. The diminutive Vickie carries the informal warmth of the nickname tradition.·Latin origin·Female·VIK-ee

Vickie Vickie distills the Roman goddess of victory into an affectionate diminutive — the massive concept of victoria compressed into something warm and personal. The nickname tradition strips away the formal weight of Victoria while retaining the root concept of conquering and prevailing. A character named Vickie tends to project a determined energy that achieves its goals without announcing its ambitions, winning by outlasting rather than overpowering.
