Nickah is English in Origin.

Nickah (NEE-kah or NIK-ah) is a modern English given name, probably formed by adding the feminine -ah ending to Nick/Nikki or by respelling Nika. Through these routes it connects to Greek Nikolaos (from nike “victory” + laos “people”) and to the Slavic and Persian name Nika, which means “victory” in the Greek tradition and “good, pure” in Persian. Usage is recent and rare, appearing in Anglophone records mainly from the late 20th century onward.

Variants include Nicka, Nikka, Nika, Nickahh, and Nickah’s diminutives Nick and Nika; related forms are Nikki, Nico, and Veronica (source of Nika in Slavic). Because it closely resembles the Arabic word nikah (marriage contract), some families avoid that spelling in Arabic-speaking contexts; that term, however, is not traditionally a given name. Overall meanings commonly attached to Nickah trace to “victory of the people” or simply “victory,” with the Persian-influenced reading “good, pure” also possible.
