Nilton is a Brazilian/Portuguese name. Nilton is a Portuguese and Brazilian variant of Nílson, which derives from the Scandinavian name Nilsson, itself formed from "Nil" (a short form of Niels/Nicholas) combined with the patronymic suffix "-son," ultimately tracing to the Greek name Nicholas meaning "victor of the people." The name is predominantly used in Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly Brazil, and gained popularity during the 20th century as a modern adaptation of Nordic naming traditions.
