Globally, Nikolova (Nikolova 
, Николова 
) is a rare predominantly feminine, but scarcely male given name. The given name Nikolova is characteristic of Bulgaria, where it is quite a rare dominantly feminine, but infrequently boy's name, Greece, where it is a rare female name, and Afghanistan. Much more prevalently, Nikolova is the last name as well as the forename.
