Nikolai is a really great name with a strong meaning that I think more people should be considering for their child.Nikolai is the Polish alternative to names like Nicolas/Nicholas/Nick. The Polish meaning of this name is 'victorious' and so the name is a strong one. The name is also popular in Russia and alternatives of the name (Nikolaos) are popular in Greece. The name can be shortened to 'Lai' or 'Niko' which makes it a really flexible name with plenty of options to shorten it depending on the child and their growing identity.
