"Traditional Greek name"
The name Nikolaos is commonly a male name from the "Greek" origin.
Nikolaos is a Greek name, and it is the Greek form from which the English name Nicholas derives. It is a compound of two Greek elements: nike, meaning victory, and laos, meaning people. The ending -os is the ordinary Greek masculine nominative ending, so the name is the Greek spelling of the compound rather than an English variant of it.
The pronunciation of Nikolaos is nee-KOH-lah-ohs.
