Re: Nikolaus etc. exact meaning?
in reply to a message by Andy
Good question. Most simply translate 'victorious people', which may be a great name for a people, but not very logical for a person.
I found one other interpretation that I like:
'Victorious one who emerges FROM AMONG his people'.

This makes more sense! Thank you!
I think "victorious FOR his people" doesn't sound bad either, thinking of the Olympic (or other) Games …
