Nikolia is of Greek origin, meaning "victory of the people." It is a less common variant of Nikola, which shares similar roots and meanings. Historically, Nikola has been popular among Greeks, Russians, and other Slavic cultures, but Nikolia is not as widely used. The name is associated with several saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church, including Saint Nicholas, one of the most celebrated saints worldwide.
Nikolia is quite uncommon, with only 11 babies named Nikolia over an eight-year span between 2007 and 2015.
