Mykol, of Ukrainian origin, is derived from the Greek name Nikolaos. It means 'victory of the people'. Spelled variants include Mikolaj and Mykola, while Nikola is its Greek form. The name gained popularity in Eastern Europe through St. Nicholas, the 4th-century bishop who became the patron saint of children.
"Over the span of two decades, from 1996 to 2018, there were a total of 35 children named Mykol born each year with varying numbers across different years."
