In England till about twenty-five years ago, he was known as Father Christmas; in Scotland, always as Santa Claus. The name Santa came to America, and Scotland, from the Dutch. Now, of course, with the Cocacolonisaion of the developed world, Santa reigns supreme.

Father Christmas. Traditionally, he wears green although the colour was changed to red (a move which has gone unchallenged) by a big-name company years ago.
