Meaning & History

The first element of this name is a little bit uncertain, because there are several possibilities for it (although all related). It might be derived from:

• νῑκᾷς (nikas), the active present tense of the Greek verb νικάω (nikao) meaning "to win, to conquer, to prevail";
• νίκας (nikas), the accusative plural of the Greek noun νίκη (nike) meaning "victory";
• Νικασία (Nikasia), the name of a tiny Greek island in the Cyclades, which is an archipelago in the Aegean Sea.

The second element is derived from δᾶμος (damos), which is the Doric Greek form of δῆμος (demos) meaning "people" as well as "country, land".
