Niccola is Italian in Origin.
Niccola is an Italian form derived from Greek Nikolaos (nike "victory" + laos "people"), via Latin Nicolaus, carrying the meaning "victory of the people." The double-c spelling mirrors Niccolò, the standard Italian masculine of Nicholas, and appears in medieval and southern Italian records alongside Nicola. While Nicola is traditionally masculine in much of Italy and unisex elsewhere, Niccola has been used both as a rare feminine alternative and as a dialectal or orthographic masculine form.
In contemporary use Niccola is uncommon, chosen occasionally to signal Italian heritage or to differentiate from Nicole/Nicola. It shares the strong saintly associations of St. Nicholas/San Nicola di Bari, giving common name days on 6 December (and 9 May in parts of Italy). Close variants include Nicola, Niccolò, Nicolò; international cognates Nicholas, Nicolas, Nikolas; feminine forms Nicole, Nicoletta, Nicolina; and diminutives or short forms Nico, Nica, Cola, Nick/Nikki.
