Nik is a male nickname/moniker derived from the Ancient Greek word νίκη (nike), meaning 'victory'.[citation needed]

The name Nik is a shortened form that has several origins. One of the interpretations is that the name comes from Nike, the mythological goddess of victory. In another interpretation it is an abbreviation of the name Nikat, which means 'spiritual man',[citation needed] and according to a third interpretation it is a derivative of the names Nike or Nikica, which refer to victory. Sometimes the name is a diminutive of Dominic, which means 'one who belongs to God'.[1]

In the Kelantan state of Malaysia and the Pattani province of Thailand, Nik is an inherited title.
