Champion or victory of the people
Nilsa is a Scandinavian and Spanish feminine diminutive of Nils, which is the Scandinavian form of Nicholas. It carries the etymological weight of 'victory' and 'people,' though it has evolved into a distinct, rhythmic name in its own right. In some contexts, it is also associated with the name Nelsa.
