The Hungarian name Miklos (Miklós in Hungarian) is of patronymic origin. The name means son of or descendant of Miklós, the Hungarian form of Nicholas. The personal name Nicholas comes from the Greek name  Nikolaos, from nikan meaning “to conquer” and  laos meaning “people.” The Coat of Arms for Miklos, granted by the Emperor during the Austro-Hungarian Empire consists of a silver shield with three ravens, 2 and one, and on a black bar three lions rampant in silver. A notable bearer of the name was Miklós Zrínyi the celebrated 17th Century Hungarian poet.
