History & Origin
Nickol is a respelled form of Nicole, the French feminine of Nicholas, from the Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people'. Nicole was a top girls' name in the late twentieth century, and this k-spelling reworks its look toward the Nick- of Nicholas while keeping the soft French sound. Its meaning is that of the whole victorious Nicholas family.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around the early 1970s while Nicole soared. A woman named Nickol from then is now in her fifties.
