Sicilian
Etymology
Inherited from Late Latin Nicolosius (with loss of the ending -us, like other Sicilian proper name ending in -ius (“suffix forming a nomen gentilicium”)), from Latin Nīcolāus, from Ancient Greek Νικόλαος (Nikólaos). The toponym is related to the local Aetnaean cult of Santa Nicola â rina (“St. Nicholas of the sand”; mis-Italianized as San Nicolò l'Arena, with elision, through hypercorrection, of the originale preposition). Compare, for more, the doublet Niculaci and the proper name Nicola.
