Vika
Meaning of Vika
Vika is a feminine Slavic diminutive of the Latin-derived Viktoria—itself rooted in victoria, the classical term for “victory”—and enjoys widespread currency in Russian and Ukrainian contexts, where it is articulated as VEE-kuh (/ˈviːkə/). In the United States, Vika first appeared in Social Security Administration records in 1977 with five occurrences at rank 773 and has since exhibited intermittent, modest usage within the lower tier of the top 1,000 names. Notable fluctuations include a mid-1980s presence at rank 792, a sustained series of seven to nine annual registrations in the early 2010s (ranks approximately 936–955), and a twelve-birth peak in 2019 (rank 932), before settling in 2022–2023 at five to seven occurrences (ranks 937–953). This longitudinal distribution highlights Vika’s enduring yet selective adoption, framing it as an academically resonant choice that marries etymological gravitas with phonetic clarity and cross-cultural appeal.
