Nicholas: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Nicholas Baby Name

The name Nicholas means ‘people of victory’.

The name Nicholas is the anglicized spelling of the Greek name ‘Nikolaos’ which is derived from ‘nikē’ (victory) and ‘laos’ (people), thus means, ‘people of victory’.

The ‘-ch’ spelling first appeared in the 12th century and became firmly embedded by the 16th century.

The enduring popularity of this name is owed to St. Nicholas.

The name became widespread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages due to the cults and legends surrounding this famous 4th century saint.

Particularly recognized in the Eastern Orthodox Church, St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) who lived between 270 and 343 A.D.

He was known for his religious zeal and extraordinary kindness.

Although little is factually known, as with many early saints, Nicholas’s legends grew and he became one of the most beloved saints ever.

Famous people who share the name Nicholas:

The Emperors of Russia, Nicholas I and Nicholas Romanov, the last Emperor of Russia. Plus, the actors Nicholas Holt, Nicholas Cage and Nick Jonas.
