His originated from the christian Saint, Bishop Nicholas of Myra. There were many Saint Nicholas' who carried on the act of giving to those in need as the Bishop did, and it trickled down to what we know today as Santa Claus

"Santa" means saint in some languages, and Santa Claus's a.k.a. is St. Nicholas.
