MEANING & HISTORY
What does Kolas mean?
Kolas is explicitly recorded as a familiar form of Nicolas. The longer Nicholas family joins Greek victory and people elements.
The clipping uses the later portion of the name and does not independently reproduce the whole Greek compound. The source establishes the relation despite the changed first consonant.
