Meaning & History

Modern West Frisian form of the archaic name Nyckel, which was a short form of NYCKELE. Alternatively, one can also say that this name is a short form of NIKELE, which is a younger form of the aforementioned name Nyckele. Ultimately, the name is derived from NIKOLAUS.

Also Silesian German diminutive of NIKOLAUS and Vilamovian form of NICHOLAS.
