History & Origin

Nickolis is a phonetic spelling of Nicholas, whose Greek root Nikolaos means 'victory of the people.' The respelling foregrounds the familiar nickname Nick while keeping the saint's-name pedigree of the original.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about twenty boys a year around its peak in the late nineteen-nineties, while Nicholas itself was a top name. A boy named Nickolis then is in his twenties today.

Did you know? Nickolis writes Nicholas the way the nickname Nick suggests; the classic name honors Saint Nicholas, the fourth-century bishop behind the Santa Claus tradition.
