History & Origin

Nicholle is a respelling of Nicole, the French feminine of Nicholas, from Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people.' It belongs to the 1990s wave of personalized Nicole spellings and reached its high near 1994.

Nicholle stayed the rarer variant beside Nicole and Nichole and eased off after the 1990s. It preserves the 'victory' meaning of its Greek root in an ornamented spelling; Nicole and Nicolette are its closest kin.

Did you know? Nicholle keeps the 'h' from Nicholas that the standard Nicole drops — a respelling that quietly restores the masculine parent's spelling inside the feminine name.
