The name Nicholas itself has ancient Greek origins and was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans who arrived in the 12th century. These Norman settlers, who came from England and Wales, merged with the native Irish population, leading to the adoption of Norman naming practices.
Over time, the Mac Nioclais family became known as Fitz-Nicol, indicating their descent from Nicholas. They were likely prominent members of their community, holding positions of power or influence. The surname Fitz-Nicol was passed down from generation to generation, and the family would have been recognized by this name within their local area.
Like many Irish surnames, Fitz-Nicol suffered during the period of English colonization and the subsequent suppression of Irish culture. Many Irish families anglicized their names to better assimilate into English society. As a result, variations of the surname Fitz-Nicol emerged, including Fitz-Nicholas and Fitz-Nichol.
Today, individuals with the Fitz-Nicol surname can trace their ancestry back to Ireland, specifically to families whose ancestors were known as the sons of Nicholas.
