Nykolson is English in Origin.

Nykolson is a modern, stylistic respelling of the English-Scottish surname Nicholson, a patronymic meaning "son of Nicholas." Nicholas derives from the Greek Nikolaos (nike "victory" + laos "people"), yielding the sense "victory of the people." The surname developed across Britain after the medieval popularity of St. Nicholas and appears in forms such as Nicholson and Nicolson, especially in northern England and the Scottish Highlands.

Used as a given name, Nykolson aligns with the recent trend of adopting surnames and inventive spellings as first names in the United States and elsewhere since the late twentieth century. Variant spellings and related forms include Nicholson, Nicolson, Nickolson, Nickson, and Nikolson; cognate given names are Nicholas, Nicolas, Nikolas, Nikolai, and Niklas. Typically masculine but workable as unisex, Nykolson preserves the traditional meaning while offering a distinctive, contemporary look.
