Nikola is a feminine name in Slavic countries, though it serves as the masculine form of Nicholas in several Eastern European languages.

The name carries associations with strength and triumph while offering the friendly nicknames Niki or Niko. Its international recognition connects to notable figures like scientist Nikola Tesla.
