Meaning & History
Old Hungarian name of uncertain origin and meaning; theories include a derivation from Mikál (via the variant Mikol) and a derivation from Nikola 2. In Simon of Kéza's 'Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum', written in the 1280s, Mikolt is borne by the last wife of Attila the Hun. Other sources, however, agree that Attila's last wife was known as Ildikó.
