The given name Nicole is a French feminine derivative of the masculine given name Nicolas, which is ultimately from the Ancient Greek Νικόλαος (Nikólaos), composed of the elements níkē “victory” and laós “people” (hence it may be interpreted as "victory of the people"). There are many variants.[1] The spelling "Nicole" also saw use as a medieval French man's name, e.g., Nicole Oresme.
