Mikołaj Meaning History and Gender Identity

Mikołaj, the Polish form of Nicholas, derives from Greek elements meaning "victory of the people." In the United States, it functions primarily as a heritage name, rarely used outside communities with direct Polish ties. This name possesses a strong, traditional mood, rooted deeply in centuries of Central European history following its adoption in the medieval era. It is universally recognized as a distinctively masculine name, reflecting its robust classification across Slavic regions. The name evokes seriousness and enduring strength, distinguishing it from more modern or playful monikers.
