Nikola typically refers to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist known for his contributions to the development of alternating current (AC) electrical systems. Born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, which is now part of Croatia, Tesla immigrated to the United States in 1884. He is famous for his work on electricity and magnetism, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's innovations include the Tesla coil, induction motor, and wireless transmission of electricity. Beyond his technical contributions, he is often celebrated for his visionary ideas about energy and technology, influencing the future of electrical engineering and laying the groundwork for modern electricity distribution.In a broader context, the name Nikola can also be a common male given name in Slavic and Balkan countries, derived from the Greek name Nikolaos, meaning "victory of the people."
