📖 Über Nixon
Nixon ist ein englischer Patronym — 'Sohn des Nick' — der letztlich auf das griechische Nikolaos zurückgeht, was 'Sieg des Volkes' bedeutet. Als Vorname verkörpert er den Trend zu Nachnamen als Vornamen und ist besonders in Australien beliebt (Rang 99 im Jahr 2017). Der Name ist untrennbar mit Richard Nixon, dem 37. US-Präsidenten, verbunden, dessen Rücktritt infolge des Watergate-Skandals ihn zu einem der bekanntesten politischen Nachnamen der Geschichte machte.
