<p>Nikolaj is the Slavic form of Nicholas, particularly common in countries like Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Denmark, and other Scandinavian and Eastern European nations. Like its variants, it derives from Greek elements meaning 'victory of the people.' The 'j' ending is pronounced like a 'y' sound in most languages that use this spelling. Nikolaj has been borne by notable figures including Russian writer Nikolaj Gogol and Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. While less common in English-speaking countries, global appreciation for Scandinavian and Slavic cultures has increased its international recognition. The name conveys strength and heritage while offering a distinctive alternative to the more common Nicholas.</p>
