Has no connection to Nigel nor is it an Irish 'version'. It is an old Irish name which stands on its own. Meaning is disputed, but some think it relates to an old-Irish and middle-Irish word 'to champion' or 'successful'. There are also those who suggest it may have its roots in a word which relates to 'vapour' or 'steam' - niallach.
