Nikolayevna is Russian in Origin.

Nikolayevna is the Russian feminine patronymic formed from the male given name Nikolai (Nicholas). It denotes "daughter of Nikolai," ultimately tracing to Greek Nikolaos, from nike "victory" and laos "people," hence "victory of the people." In Slavic naming, it functions as the middle element used with a given name and surname for formal address, not as an independent first name, though it can appear as a middle name in diaspora documents.

Transliteration varies: Nikolaevna and Nikolayevna are both standard in English; Nikolajevna may appear in Central European contexts. The closest Ukrainian analogue is Mykolayivna; the masculine counterpart is Nikolayevich. The form is well attested in Imperial Russia, borne by Romanov princesses such as Olga Nikolaevna, Tatiana Nikolaevna, and Anastasia Nikolaevna, and remains current in modern Russian bureaucratic and polite usage.
