Nicola Origin and Meaning

The name Nicola is a boy's name meaning "people of victory".

Nicola may be more familiar as a female name in English-speaking countries, but it's a popular classic choice for Italian baby boys – currently just outside the Top 50 there. A historic bearer is Nicola Pisano, a renowned and influential thirteenth century sculptor.

Spelled with a K, it's also used in many Slavic countries, as in Nikola Tesla, the eminent Serbian-American inventor.
