his name is Nicholas or however you like to spell it. he was considered a saint that have presents to children on december 24. Santa Claus is the mispronunciation of Sinterklaas which is the contraction of Sint Nicolaas(Saint Nicholas) in Dutch. but in spanish his name has remained as San Nicolas (Saint Nicholas) for those who dont believe in el niño jesus (baby jesus?)

Sinder? German lore where part of the idea came from. I wonder who they used as a model when the CO. s' created the jolly fat man. If you find out say it three times in a row turn around and he just might appear.
