What is the meaning of the name Nikole ?

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

Nikole is Greek in Origin.

Nikole is a modern spelling of Nicole, the French feminine form of Nicholas (Greek Nikolaos), from nike “victory” + laos “people,” meaning “victory of the people.” It entered Western naming through the veneration of Saint Nicholas and medieval French use, later spreading to English under French cultural influence. The streamlined k reflects contemporary phonetic spellings and parallels seen across Slavic-influenced members of the Nicholas family.

Usage of Nikole appears in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century as an alternative to the popular Nicole. Variants and related forms include Nicole, Nichole, Nicolle, Nickole, Nicola (chiefly British), Nicolette, and Nicoletta; masculine counterparts are Nicholas, Nicolas, and Nikola. Common diminutives are Nikki, Niki, and Nico, with Cole as a sleek short form. The name’s meaning suggests qualities of leadership, triumph, and communal strength.
