Nicasius Origin and Meaning

The name Nicasius is a boy's name of Latin origin.

Nicasius is a masculine name of Latin origin, derived from the Greek word 'nike' meaning 'victory.' This distinguished and scholarly-sounding name has ancient roots and religious significance, as it was borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs, including a 5th-century bishop of Rheims. Though extremely rare in contemporary usage, Nicasius offers rich historical depth and a sophisticated, classical quality. The name has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries, remaining an exceptionally uncommon choice that might appeal to parents seeking a truly distinctive name with historical gravitas. Nicasius offers several appealing nickname options, including Nic or Cass. Its rarity combined with its classical roots makes it a name of quiet distinction for those drawn to names with ancient heritage.
