Meaning & History
The first element of this name is a little bit uncertain, because there are several possibilities for it (although all related). It might be derived from:• νῑκᾷς (nikas), the active present tense of the Greek verb νικάω (nikao) meaning "to win, to conquer, to prevail";
• νίκας (nikas), the accusative plural of the Greek noun νίκη (nike) meaning "victory";
• Νικασία (Nikasia), the name of a tiny Greek island in the Cyclades, which is an archipelago in the Aegean Sea.The second element is derived from the Greek verb τιμάω (timao) meaning "to honour, to esteem, to revere".Also compare the related names NIKASIOS and NIKOTIMOS.
