About the name Niccolò
Niccolò is an Italian form of Nicholas, from the Greek Nikolaos, which combines nike, victory, and laos, people. Devotion to Saint Nicholas of Myra, whose relics were brought to Bari in Apulia, made the name widespread in Italy. Its most famous bearer is Niccolò Machiavelli, the Florentine diplomat and political thinker who wrote The Prince. The Genoese violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini and the Venetian traveller Niccolò de’ Conti are others. Nicolò is a single-c spelling, and Nicola is a separate Italian form.
