Nikson is in Origin.
Nikson is a modern spelling variant of the English patronymic surname Nixon/Nickson, meaning "son of Nicholas." The base name Nicholas comes from Greek Nikolaos, composed of nike "victory" and laos "people," giving the sense of "victory of the people." The k in Nikson reflects the diminutive Nik/Nick that fed the surname and echoes orthography seen in Slavic and some Spanish-influenced contexts.
As a given name, Nikson has seen modest, contemporary use, emerging with the broader trend of turning surnames - especially -son endings - into first names. While far rarer than Nixon, it appears in parts of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe, as well as in English-speaking countries seeking a distinctive twist. Close variants include Nixon, Nickson, and Nixson. Related forms from the root include Nicholas, Nikolas, Nicolas, Nikola, Nikolai, Niklas, Nico, and Nicola; nicknames include Nik, Niko, and Nix.
