NILS. A
Swedish
contracted form of Nicolas
(q.v.), meaning "victor of the people."
... Nils is the only real
Nicolaus except Klaus
used in the North, though Niel,
and even Nigel, are
sometimes confounded with it...
... Njal's likeness to the
contraction Nils, has caused many to suppose that Njal
is also a form of Nicolas, but the existence of Nial
both in Ireland and Iceland before the conversion of either country
contradicts this. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
