## Etymology

* Tati meaning is unknown but of Ancient Egyptian origin. This was the name of an Egyptian queen from the 17-18th century BC.
* Marie is the French variant of Mary, which is the usual English form of Maria, the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριάμ (*Mariam*) and Μαρία (*Maria*) — the spellings are interchangeable — which were from Hebrew מִרְיָם (*Miryam*), a name borne by the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However, it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from *mry* "beloved" or *mr* "love".
* Nikolaus is the German form of Nicholas is from the Greek name *Νικόλαος (Nikolaos)* meaning "victory of the people", derived from Greek *νίκη (nike)* meaning "victory" and *λαός (laos)* meaning "people".

He is the patron saint of children, sailors and merchants, as well as Greece and Russia.
