I will be getting a new grandson later this year. It's about time we get more males in the family.
My daughter sent me some info on his name and I thought it would be good to post it here. His father is Italian.
NICOLÒ
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Italian
Italian form of NICHOLAS
Usage: English, French , Italian
Pronounced: NI-ko-las (English), nee-ko-LA (French)
From the Greek name Νικολαος (Nikolaos) which meant "victory of the people" from Greek νικη (nike) "victory" and λαος (laos) "people". Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop from Anatolia who, according to legend, saved the daughters of a poor man from lives of prostitution. He is also known as Santa Claus (from Dutch Sinterklaas), the bringer of Christmas presents. He is the patron saint of children, sailors and merchants, and Greece and Russia. Nicholas was also the name of two czars of Russia and five popes.
