Origin and meaning of Nicole
Nicole is the French feminine of Nicholas, from the Greek Nikólaos, combining níkē 'victory' with laós 'people' — thus 'victory of the people'. Elegant and cosmopolitan, it spread far beyond France in the twentieth century. It is common in France, the English-speaking world, Germany and Italy, where its modern, international tone appeals. It carries a bright meaning of shared triumph while keeping a refined, airy lightness.
