Nicholl

Nicholl is a masculine name with Scottish and Irish origins, functioning as a variant of Nicholas, which derives from the Greek 'Nikolaos' meaning 'victory of the people.' While traditionally a surname in Scottish and Irish contexts, Nicholl occasionally appears as a given name, reflecting the common practice of using family surnames as first names. The double 'l' spelling distinguishes it from the more common Nichol or Nicholas. Pronunciation typically follows 'NICK-ol' or 'ni-KOLE,' depending on regional preferences. Though rare as a first name globally, Nicholl maintains steady usage in families with Scottish or Irish heritage who wish to honor ancestral naming traditions. The name carries a dignified, traditional quality while being distinctive enough to stand out from the more common Nicholas variations.

Nicholl is also given to girls.

Pronounced NIK-ul.
