Nick
A boys’ name of Greek origin, meaning victory of the people; short form of Nicholas.
Nick by the numbers
In 2025, 14 babies in England and Wales were named Nick. In the US, 146 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 1,099 babies in 1960, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
