What is the meaning of the name Nikol ?

The baby name Nikol is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NEE-kol (IPA: /ˈniːkɒl/; alternative: ni-KOL /nɪˈkɒl/).

Nikol is in Origin.

Nikol is a streamlined Slavic and Armenian form related to the Greek name Nikolaos (“nike” victory + “laos” people), widely translated as “victory of the people.” In Central and Eastern Europe - especially Czech, Slovak, and Bulgarian - Nikol functions mainly as a feminine equivalent of Nicole/Nikola; in Armenia and parts of the Caucasus it also appears as a masculine name (cf. Armenian politician Nikol Pashinyan). The name traveled through Christian tradition via the cult of St. Nicholas and entered modern secular use with 19th–20th-century European spelling simplifications; it rose in popularity after the 1990s in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Israel.

Common variants and cognates include Nicole, Nicola, Nikola, Nicolas/Nicholas, Nikolai, Nicol, Nikole, Nikoleta, Nicolette, and Nikolina; diminutives such as Niki and Nika are frequent. The concise, consonant-final form suits multiple languages and alphabets (e.g., Cyrillic Никол), and its cross-cultural footprint gives it a contemporary, international feel while retaining its venerable saintly pedigree.
