NIKOLAOS (Νίκολαος). Greek
name meaning "victor of the people," from nike "victory" and laos
"people."
... After belonging to one of the
seven first deacons, and to the founder of a heresy doomed in the
Apocalypse, this name came to the Bishop of Myra, from whom it acquired a
curious legendary fame that made it universal—St. Nicholas.
(History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
The Patriarch Nikolaos,
the mystic who had been deposed by Leo VI. for opposing his fourth
