Mikola is Slavic in Origin.
Mikola is an East Slavic given name, a Belarusian (Мікола) and Rusyn variant of the Greek-derived Nicholas, from Nikolaos (nikē “victory” + laos “people”), thus “victory of the people.” It entered Slavic usage through Church Slavonic and coexists with Ukrainian Mykola and Russian Nikolai; in Ukrainian contexts Mikola is sometimes seen as a nonstandard transliteration. Common short forms include Miko, Mikolka, and Kola.
Use has been sustained by the veneration of Saint Nicholas of Myra, especially in Orthodox and Greek Catholic communities; name days fall on December 6 (Gregorian) or December 19 (Julian). Related and cognate forms span the Slavic and European world: English Nicholas, South Slavic Nikola, Russian Nikolai, Belarusian Mikalai, Ukrainian Mykola, Polish Mikołaj, Czech/Slovak Mikuláš, Italian/Spanish/Portuguese Nicola/Nicolás/Nicolau. Feminine counterparts include Nicole, Nicola, and Nikola. Mikola remains culturally resonant in Belarusian folklore and Carpatho-Rusyn tradition.
