Nicolos

Nicolos is a masculine given name and surname of Italian origin. It is a variant of the given name Nicola/Nicolo and is ultimately derived from the Greek Nikolaos, meaning "victory of the people." In Italian, the standard form of the given name is Nicolò; Nicolos appears in some records as an anglicized or older spelling and can also be found as a surname derived from a patronymic or from the personal name.

In usage, Nicolos is relatively uncommon in contemporary Italy, where Nicolò and Niccolò are preferred. Outside Italy, Nicolos can occur among Italian diaspora communities or in historical documents where names were transcribed into non-Italian spellings. The form is more likely to appear as a surname, indicating descent from an ancestor named Nicolos or Nicolò in genealogical sources.

Notable people: There are no widely recognized figures whose name is Nicolos in major biographical sources. As a result, the name is largely encountered in genealogy, fictional works, or in smaller-scale records rather than as a widely used public name.
