Ciri states her age only once, leaving Kaer Morhen, which puts her birth in 1253 -- that's why most pages currently use this date. Most other mentions, like the one by Emhyr in TLotL, would put her birth in 1252. The sole indicators of 1251 are that Hjalmar affair and Vysogota's quess.

There are two possible reasons of difference: Sapkowski might've decided to age her a bit while writing further novels (the stuff she goes through is traumatic, and the younger she is the more "overkill" it might be) or he simply forgot and checked the timeline created by fans for Sapkowski ZONE, which had put everything three years earlier. Either way, I'd stick to 1252 or 53 until we are able to contact the author.
