The Nicolaitans were a Christian sect that originated in the 1st century AD. The name "Nicolaitans" comes from the Greek words "Niko-laos", meaning "victory of the people". They were known for their heretical teachings and practices, which were considered to be a corruption of early Christianity. The Nicolaitans were condemned by the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation (2:6, 2:15).
