Nikollë

Nikollë is a masculine given name in Albanian usage. It is the Albanian form of Nicholas, which itself derives from the Greek Nikolaos, from Nike (victory) and Laos (people). The name has been adopted across Albanian-speaking regions and communities, including Albania, Kosovo, and parts of North Macedonia and Montenegro, and in the Albanian diaspora.

Among Albanian Catholics and Orthodox, Shën Nikollë (Saint Nicholas) is a familiar devotional figure, and the name day on December 6 is observed in some traditions. The form with the diacritic ë reflects standard Albanian spelling.

Notable people bearing the name include various Albanian clerics, writers, and public figures from the 19th century to the present; the name remains common in contemporary Albania and in Albanian-speaking communities.
