Nicolas de Valer

My husband's paternal family hail from France. The French spelling of his name is Nicolas de Valer.

The family motto is "This is the fruit of valour." Valour means personal courage, particularly in combat and was originally from Latin (valor) and then Old French (valere - to be strong).

Nicholas/Nicolas is Greek and means 'victory of the people'. Apt name for a martial arts instructor?
