Census
Vicie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 208 people with the first name Vicie, which placed it at #37,486 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Vicie is White at 62.0%. The next largest groups are Black (25.0%) and Two or More Races (7.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Vicie described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Vicie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Vicie
The given name Vicie has its origins tracing back to ancient Latin roots. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "vicis," which means "change" or "alternation." This name's earliest documented use can be traced back to the Roman era, where it was occasionally given to children, particularly those born during times of transition or upheaval.
One of the earliest known historical figures to bear the name Vicie was a Roman noblewoman named Vicie Quintia, who lived in the 1st century BC. She was renowned for her philanthropic efforts and advocacy for women's rights during the turbulent times of the late Roman Republic.
Another notable individual named Vicie was Vicie Aemilia, a Christian martyr who lived in the 3rd century AD. According to religious texts, she was persecuted and executed for her unwavering faith during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
During the Middle Ages, the name Vicie gained popularity among certain European noble families, particularly in regions with strong Latin cultural influences. One prominent figure was Vicie de Montfort, a 12th-century French noblewoman who played a significant role in the Albigensian Crusade.
In the Renaissance era, the name Vicie was adopted by a few notable artists and intellectuals. Vicie Colonna, an Italian poet and writer from the 16th century, was celebrated for her literary works that explored themes of love, spirituality, and female empowerment.
Moving into the modern era, one of the most famous individuals named Vicie was Vicie Babassakis, a Greek resistance fighter and hero during World War II. Born in 1918, she risked her life to aid Allied forces and played a crucial role in the liberation of her homeland from Nazi occupation.
While the name Vicie has never been among the most common given names, it has maintained a consistent presence throughout history, carrying with it a sense of resilience, adaptability, and strength – fitting qualities for a name rooted in the concept of change and transition.

FAQ
Vicie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Vicie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 109 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Vicie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,144,535 US residents.
Is Vicie a common name?
We classify Vicie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 65.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 755 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Vicie most popular?
The single biggest year for Vicie was 1920, when 31 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Vicie is about 77 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Vicie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 208 people with the name Vicie, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #37,486 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Vicie in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Vicie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Vicie appears almost entirely female. Of the 206 people counted with this name, 99.5% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Vicie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Vicie is White at 62.0%. The next largest groups are Black (25.0%) and Two or More Races (7.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Vicie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Vicie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 62.0% (129 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Vicie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Vicie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Vicie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Vicie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Vicie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Vicie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
