“Santa Clause” seems to me a very strange merging of two words into
one meaning because “santa” in Spanish means “saint” in relation to
woman (e.g.: Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, however I
wouldn't mind to get presents from “Santa Nicola”. :) ) On the other
hand “Clause” resembles German equivalent of “Klaus”. In my opinion
proper name for him should be:
- considering Spanish origin “San Nicolas”
- considering English name “Saint Nicholas” or “Saint Nicolas”
My question is: Has there ever been applied the name “Saint
Nicholas” instead of “Santa Clause” in the past in England?
Blissful Christmassive & Santaclausive Festival to all :)
May Happy & Prosperous New Year take you all in its captivity
