Nills
Nills Origin and Meaning
Nills is a masculine name with Scandinavian roots, primarily serving as a variant of Nils, which itself is a Swedish and Norwegian short form of Nicholas. The name ultimately derives from the Greek Nikolaos, meaning 'victory of the people.' Nills carries a distinctly Nordic character while remaining relatively uncommon even in Scandinavian countries. The doubled 'l' spelling is less frequent than the standard 'Nils' variant. Throughout history, the name has been associated with various notable figures in Scandinavian culture, though it has never reached widespread popularity internationally. With its brief, strong sound and cultural heritage, Nills appeals to parents seeking a name with Scandinavian connections that remains distinctive and somewhat uncommon.
