Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Nika sa používa ako samostatné ženské meno aj ako osamostatnená skrátená podoba mien Veronika a Nikola, prípadne Dominika. Základ nik- v menách gréckeho pôvodu súvisí so starogréckým slovom νίκη (níkē) s významom „víťazstvo“; Niké bolo zároveň menom gréckej bohyne víťazstva. Pri mene Dominika však ide iba o formálne skrátenie, nie o rovnaký etymologický základ.
