What is the meaning of the name Nichole ?

The baby name Nichole is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /nɪˈkoʊl/ (nih-KOHL).

Nichole is French in Origin.

Nichole is a modern English spelling variant of Nicole, the French feminine form of Nicholas. Ultimately from Greek Nikolaos - nike “victory” + laos “people” - it carries the meaning “victory of the people.” Through the prestige of Saint Nicholas, the root name spread widely across Europe; French Nicole became the preferred feminine form, from which Nichole diverged in Anglophone contexts.

Records show Nicole in medieval France, but Nichole itself gained currency mainly in North America during the late 20th century, riding the broader vogue for French-tinged names and peaking in the 1970s–1990s. Spelling relatives include Nicole, Nicolle, Nicholle, Nikole, and Nichol; cognates and related forms are Nicola (English/Italian), Nikola (Slavic), Nicoletta, and the masculine Nicholas/Nicolas. Common diminutives and short forms include Nikki, Nicki, Niki, and Nico. The name blends classic roots with a tailored, contemporary look.
