as a First Name
From a medieval short form of Nicholas. Its use as a modern given name in part represents a transferred use of the surname derived from the given name in the Middle Ages. In Scotland it has been used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Colla, perhaps from an Old Celtic root meaning ‘high’.
