Nicola is an Italian and Latin given name for males, derived from the Late Latin name Nicolaus, which means "victory of the people." It has been widely used throughout Europe and beyond due to its association with Saint Nicholas, a historic figure popularized by Christianity. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages when it was introduced to various countries via religious influences. Nicola is considered a classic choice among parents seeking traditional yet timeless names for their sons.
