Niklaus is not used in Germany anymore, and a person with this name would probably be associated with the
Niklaus (
Nikolaus) who brings the presents for kids on December 6th.
Niklaus was in use in medieval times in Germany. The name appears in a christmas carol called "Lasst uns froh und munter sein", where they sing "
Niklaus ist ein guter Mann, dem man nicht genug danken kann" (
Niklaus is a good man, we can't thank him enough).
