Nico

Nico is a gender-neutral name of Italian origin. As the Italian shortened form of Nicholas, Nicola, and Nicodemus, Nico speaks of the power that comes from joining forces. Deriving from the Greek Nikolaos, Nico means "victory of the people," inspiring your little one to surround themselves with those who help them win. Nico can also be a shortened form of Dominico, meaning "of the Lord," or any moniker that ends with -nico, so it's a title that tells many stories.

Fans of American rock might recognize Nico as the name of one of the singers from The Velvet Underground. We may have this musical group to thank for Nico's rise in popularity as a girl's name in the late 60s and early 70s. If you needed any further proof that Nico is a rocking feminine name choice, listen to The Bump community member brooksidebride, who says, "My stepsister is named Nico, after Nico from The Velvet Underground. She was born in the early 70s."
