Male Ukrainian name (Микола)
Mykola (Ukrainian: Микола) is a male name of Greek origin meaning «victor of the people» or «one who wins for the people». It is universally associated with Saint Nicholas — protector of travellers, sailors, and children.
The name derives from Ancient Greek Νικόλαος (Nikólaos), composed of nikē («victory») and laos («people»). In Christian tradition it is inseparably linked to Saint Nicholas of Myra (c. 270–343), archbishop of the Lycian city of Myra and one of the most venerated saints in both Eastern and Western Christianity. In Ukraine, veneration of Saint Nicholas as patron of orphans, sailors, and travellers is a deeply rooted folk tradition; the Feast of Saint Nicholas (19 December) is one of the most important family and children's holidays. The native Ukrainian form Mykola took shape through Church Slavonic usage and the phonological patterns of the Ukrainian language.
From Ancient Greek Nikólaos: nikē («victory») + laos («people») — «victor of the people».
