A proper name for a person, typically used as a given name for boys.
From Greek 'Nikolaos,' combining 'nike' (victory) and 'laos' (people), meaning 'victory of the people.' Saint Nicholas, the historical figure behind Santa Claus, made this name popular throughout Christendom.
Saint Nicholas was so beloved that his name spread across the entire Christian world, and evolved into Santa Claus, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, and dozens of variations—one saint's reputation created a whole holiday legend across centuries. That's the power of a great story.
