Nikolaou or Nicolaou is a surname. It is of Greek origin and a very common Greek Cypriot surname. Nicolaou translates to the "Victor of the People". "Niko" or "Nico" is derived from the Greek word "νίκη" for "victor" and "laou" is derived from the Greek word "λαός" which means "the people or the people of the country".

There are two other variations of the surname Nicolaou which were given the prefix "hadji" and the prefix Papa which was added as a prefix to the surname.
