What Vickie means
Vickie means victory, carried from Victoria. The Latin victoria is the ordinary noun and also the goddess who personified it, so the word and the deity are the same.
Where Vickie comes from
Vickie shortens Victoria, the Latin for victory and the name of the goddess who personified it — the Roman counterpart of the Greek Nike. Victoria was rare in Britain before 1819; the future queen was named for her German mother, and the name spread outward from her reign, so the Victorian era is named after a name it had only just acquired. The -ie ending belongs to the mid-century American fashion that also produced Bobbie, Jackie and Debbie.
