Nicki — girls' name

What the Data Says About Nicki

The Social Security Administration has registered 6,083 babies named Nicki between 1923 and 2022, spanning 100 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Nicki currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 1972, when 190 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Nicki performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,340 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Nicki shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 625 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Nicki in 30 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Nicki in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 6,083 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
