It originally derived from a combination of two Ancient Greek, Greek words meaning 'victory' and 'people'. In turn, the name means "victory of the people."

Mikulás
Saint Nicholas is a legendary figure in European folklore based on the Greek early Christian bishop Nicholas of Myra, patron saint of children. On Saint Nicholas Day, children wait for Saint Nicholas to come and put a present under their pillow or in a boot on their windowsill, provided that the children were good during the year. Children who behaved badly may expect to find a twig or a piece of coal under their pillows. In the Netherlands (see ''Sinterklaas''), Dutch children put out a shoe filled with hay and a carrot for Saint Nicholas' horse. It is believed that Saint Nicholas arrives to celebrate his day, December 6 (December 19 according to the Julian calendar) or November 11 in Belgium, and leaves before Christmas. This tradition is well known and celebrated in Austria (Austrian German: Nikolo), Belgium, Croatia (), the Czech Republic (), north-east France (), western and southern Germany (), Switzerland (Swiss German: Samichlaus), Hungary (), Luxembourg, the Netherlands ( ...
