📖 Sobre Nixon
Nixon é um sobrenome patronímico inglês — 'filho de Nick' — derivado do grego Nikolaos, que significa 'vitória do povo.' Como nome próprio, reflete a tendência moderna de usar sobrenomes como prenomes, sendo popular na Austrália (posição 99 em 2017). O nome está indissociavelmente ligado a Richard Nixon, o 37º presidente dos EUA, cuja renúncia no escândalo Watergate o tornou um dos sobrenomes políticos mais reconhecidos da história — um legado que pais modernos parecem felizes em ressignificar.
