Nicol is a gender-neutral name and a Scottish variant of Nichol, which brings a dash of Highland heritage to this endearing moniker. With roots in German and Medieval English, Nicol is also a charming twist on names like Nicole, Nicola, and Nicolas. Its origin, stemming from the Ancient Greek Nīkólāos, meaning "victory of the people," crowns your little one a champion by default. Nicol appeared in Walter Scott's novel Rob Roy as a character's middle name.
