Nocholaus is English, Greek in Origin.

Nocholaus is a very rare modern respelling of Nicholaus/Nicolaus, the Latinized form of Greek Nikolaos. The elements nike (victory) and laos (people) yield the meaning victory of the people. Through the widespread veneration of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the name spread across medieval Europe, where the saint was revered as patron of sailors, merchants, and children, and later fed into the Santa Claus tradition. As a contemporary twist, Nocholaus preserves the classic sound while signaling uniqueness.
