Nico

Nico is a name of Greek origin. It was originally used as a nickname for Nicholas or Nicodemus but now is often used as a first name on its own. The name comes from the Greek name Nikodemus, where 'nikē' meant ‘victory’ or 'to win’ and 'dēmos' meant ‘all’, ‘population’ or ‘people’. So, the meaning of Nico is 'winner for the people' or 'victorious over all'. According to Greek Mythology, Nike was the goddess of victory. She was the sister of Bia (the goddess of might and power), Kratos (the god of strength) and Zelus (the god of zeal and jealousy) but was the most powerful of the group. Nico is primarily used in European countries. The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages because of Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was well known for his generosity and gift-giving and is the inspiration behind Santa Claus - also known as Saint Nick! Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of children and sailors as well. The name Nico is most popular in Austria, where it has been in the top fifty for boys' names consistently in the last ten years.
