Nicoby

Variation of Nikoboulos or Nicolas, or compound name, English, Greek

"prevailing in the council; people of victory + supplanter; Nicolas's settlement"

Nicoby Origin and Meaning

The name Nicoby is a boy's name meaning "prevailing in the council; people of victory + supplanter; Nicolas's settlement".

Zippy and unexpected, Nicoby is an unusual choice that blends elements of Nicholas, Jacob, and Coby. It could be seen as a form of the Greek name Nikoboulos, meaning "prevailing in the council", or simply a pet form of Nicholas meaning "people of victory".

Alternatively, it blends Nicolas with Jacob (or Jacoby) into a compound name with the joint meaning "people of victory who supplant". There's also the chance however, that it follows the tradition of naming a place after a person who owns it, so Nicoby could mean "Nicolas's farm or settlement".
