Is Viki a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Viki has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 59 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Viki: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Viki, and how old are they?
1,480 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 81% of the 1,817 Americans ever recorded as Viki. The median Viki alive today is 66 years old; half are between 57 and 72.
The 2020 Census counted 1,798 people named Viki (1,777 women and girls, 21 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,582 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Viki is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Viki is most over-represented in California: since 1939 it was given 1.3 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Viki with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
