Niklas

Niklas is a masculine given name of Greek origin, derived from the name Nikolaos. Nikolaos is composed of the elements nike (νικη), meaning "victory," and laos (λαος), meaning "people." Thus, Niklas is often interpreted as "victory of the people" or "victorious among the people."

The name is common in Scandinavian countries (especially Sweden, Finland, and Germany), and can also be found in other parts of Europe. It is considered a modern variant of Nicholas and its other derivatives. The popularity of Niklas varies depending on the region and time period.
