Nycholas is Greek in Origin.
Nycholas is a modern and occasionally attested medieval respelling of Nicholas, from Greek Nikolaos (nike 'victory' + laos 'people'), meaning "victory of the people." In late medieval and early modern English, y often alternated with i in scribal practice, so Nycholas appears sporadically in parish and legal records; today it functions as a distinctive stylistic variant while keeping the standard English pronunciation NIK-uh-luss.
The name spread widely through the cult of Saint Nicholas and became common across Europe after the Norman Conquest in England. International forms include Nicholas (English standard), Nicolas (French, Spanish), Nikolas (German, Scandinavian, Slavic), Nikolaos (Greek), Nikolai (Russian), Nicola and Niccolo (Italian), Nikola (South Slavic), and Klaus/Claus/Klaas in Germanic regions. Common short forms are Nick, Nicky, Nico, Niko, and Cole; related feminine variants include Nicole, Nicola, Nicolette, and Nicolina.
