The origin of my name

The name "Nicholas" comes from the greek (Nikolaos), Latinized to Nicolaus, consists of νίκη (Nike, "victory") and (laos, "the people, the crowd"). The meaning can be interpreted as "people's victory", "people of victory", "winner of the people" or "winner among the people."

The spread of the name is closely linked to the veneration of Saint Nicholas, a grace we spread throughout the Christian world was brought by five popes and two tsars. It is common in England, in the form of Nicholas, since the twelfth century, rarificandosi slightly after the Protestant Reformation.
