NICHOLAS. English
form of Greek Nikolaos
(q.v.), meaning "victor of the people." Usage: America,
England, Great Britain, Ireland, Scotland.
Nicholas Ball (d. 1865), was an Irish barrister, judge
and Liberal politician. Nicholas Herbert Stern, a British academic
and economist. (Wiki)
... St. Nicholas is said to have supplied three destitute maidens
with marriage portions by secretly leaving money at their window, and as
his day occurred just before Christmas, he thus was made the purveyor of
the gifts of the season to all children in Flanders and Holland, who put
out their shoe or stocking in the confidence that Santa Klaus or Knecht
Clobes, as they call him, will put in a prize for good conduct before the
morning.
A saint of both the East and West, with a
history so endearing, and legends still more homely and domestic,
Nicholas was certain of many followers throughout Christendom, and his
name came into use in Europe among the first of the sainted ones. (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
