* Nicasio is the Spanish form of the latinized Nicasius in which the Greek form is Nikasios and has several meanings; is that this name is derived from νῑκᾷς (nikas), the active present tense of the Greek verb νικάω (nikao) meaning "to win, to conquer, to prevail". The second meaning is a derivation from νίκας (nikas), the accusative plural of the Greek noun νίκη (nike) meaning "victory". The third and final possibility is that this name refers to someone from the Greek island of Νικασία (Nikasia) and therefore essentially means "from Nikasia". Better known under the latinization Nicasia, it is a tiny island located between the islands of Naxos and Donousa, all of which are part of the Cyclades, an archipelago in the Aegean Sea.
* Martel is the medieval diminutive of Martin, which is from the Roman name *Martinus*, which was derived from *Martis*, the genitive case of the name of the Roman god Mars. It is a nickname for a smith, derived from Old French *martel* "hammer", ultimately from Late Latin *martellus*.
