Nikol

Meaning of Nikol

Nikol, a feminine form ultimately derived from the ancient Greek name Nikolaos, conveys the literal sense of “victory of the people” and has been assimilated into Slavic naming conventions, notably within Bulgarian, Macedonian and Russian linguistic traditions. Its cultural resonance is reinforced by ecclesiastical associations—most prominently through Saint Nicholas—and by a longue durée of usage that underscores both communal solidarity and historical continuity. In Russian, the name is phonemically rendered as nee-KOL (/niˈkol/), preserving its characteristic stress pattern. According to United States Social Security data, Nikol has sustained a modest yet stable presence among newborn registrations, with six recorded instances in 2024 (ranked 944) and fluctuations between the 700s and 900s since the latter half of the twentieth century. Valued for its concise phonological profile, cross-cultural pedigree and connotations of collective triumph, Nikol appeals to parents seeking a name that marries classical gravitas with contemporary sensibility.
