How come English is the only language that Santa Claus is Santa Claus?

In other languages it's Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas or whatever.

It depends on the country of origin and how the story has been adapted. There are many differances in how Santa/Father Christmas/ St. Nick is portrayed and how he works. I know of many differant countries where even the gifts are given differantly or that he has reindeer, or doesn't etc. He is just a warm Christmas Figure I think.

Because that is the English name for him.
