Vicie was originally a pet form of Lovisa used in the southern USA during the 19th century. Lovisa is a Swedish form of Louisa, but was also used as an alternate form of Louisa in the USA, pronounced "luh-VY-suh". It was also spelled Levisa and Lavisa; there is a river in Kentucky and Virginia called the Levisa River, which is named after Louisa, the Duchess of Cumberland.
