Nikole

Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Nikole: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1990.

Of Hungarian origin, Nikole is the local form of Nicole, ultimately deriving from the Greek *Nikolaos* (νίκη *nikē* meaning "victory" and λαός *laos* meaning "people"). The name thus carries the uplifting meaning "victory of the people." While less common in Scotland, it shares roots with the more familiar Nicola, which saw popularity in the 1970s and 80s. A notable bearer is Hungarian actress Nikolett Barabás, though the name also finds a place in modern pop culture through characters like Nikole from the video game *Cyberpunk 2077*. The spelling 'Nikole' remains a distinctive, Central European alternative to the more widespread 'Nicole', offering a fresh twist on a classic.
