Nice

Borrowed from French Nice, from Latin Nīcaea, from Ancient Greek Νῑ́καια (Nī́kaia), from νῑ́κη (nī́kē, “victory”) +‎ -ῐᾰ (-ĭă, “-ia”, suffix forming place names). It was named for a 4th-century-BCE victory of its colonizing Phocaean Greeks over local Ligurians, probably the Vediantii.

Doublet of Iznik and Nicaea.
