History & Origin
Nycole is a decorative spelling of Nicole, the French women's form of Nicholas, from Greek Nikolaos, 'victory of the people'. Replacing the 'i' with a 'y' was a common late-century way to freshen a top-ranked name; the meaning is Nicole's.
It stayed rare beside the hugely popular Nicole, peaking around 1980, then fading. Nycole reads as a dated variant spelling rather than a name with its own revival.
