“Bill Joy’s ex 1.1 was released as part of the first BSD Unix release in March, 1978. It was not until version 2.0 of ex, released as part of Second Berkeley Software Distribution in May, 1979 that the editor was installed under the name vi (which took users straight into ex’s visual mode), and the name by which it is known today.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi

So vi appeared in 1BSD, but it was only called vi in 2BSD.
