Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Nika is a concise feminine name originating from the Greek word for 'victory'.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Nika sa používa ako samostatné ženské meno aj ako osamostatnená skrátená podoba mien Veronika a Nikola, prípadne Dominika. Základ nik- v menách gréckeho pôvodu súvisí so starogréckým slovom νίκη (níkē) s významom „víťazstvo“; Niké bolo zároveň menom gréckej bohyne víťazstva. Pri mene Dominika však ide iba o formálne skrátenie, nie o rovnaký etymologický základ.
