History & Origin

Nickoles is a variant spelling of Nicholas, the Greek name meaning 'victory of the people.' The restyled ending leaves the pronunciation untouched. Families using it kept Nicholas's saintly, classic associations while giving the written form an individual look.

Nickoles was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its high point around 1993, well behind the popular Nicholas. A man named Nickoles then is in his thirties today.

Did you know? Nickoles keeps the exact sound of Nicholas, the name of Saint Nicholas, the fourth-century bishop whose generosity became the legend of Santa Claus.
