What is the meaning of the name Mikulas ?

The baby name Mikulas is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Czech/Slovak (Mikuláš): /ˈmɪkulaːʃ/; English approximation: MEE-koo-lahs (/ˈmiːkuːlɑs/).

Mikulas is Czech, Slovak in Origin.

Mikulas is the diacritic-free Central European form of Mikuláš (Czech, Slovak) and Mikulás (Hungarian), cognate with Nicholas. The name descends from Greek Nikolaos, from nike “victory” and laos “people,” and spread widely through the medieval veneration of Saint Nicholas of Myra. In the Czech and Slovak lands, Mikuláš has been borne since the Middle Ages by clergy, townsmen, and nobles, and it also names the traditional December 6 gift-bringer; it appears in place names such as Liptovský Mikuláš. In Hungary, Mikulás refers to the Saint Nicholas figure, while the usual given name is Miklós.

Variants and cognates include Mikuláš/Mikulás, Miklós, Mikołaj (Polish), Mykola (Ukrainian), Nikolai/Nikolay, Nikola, Nicolae, Niccolò, Nicolas, and Nicholas; short forms include Miki, Miko, and the Czech pet form Mikulášek. Contemporary usage often restores local diacritics at home, while diaspora families prefer the simplified Mikulas spelling.
