Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary gift-giving icon who distributes presents to sleeping children and adults who have been "good" all year; traditionally during the night of December 24, Christmas Eve. The popular American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of Dutch Sinterklaas, which is a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas).

Father Christmas is a well-loved figure in many countries and predates the Santa Claus character. Father Christmas is similar in many ways, though the two have quite different origins. Using Santa in places that predominantly call him Father Christmas may be viewed as an Americanism, although they are generally regarded as the same character. Father Christmas (and in some cases baby Jesus) is also present instead of Santa in Afghanistan ("Baba Chaghaloo"), Albania ("Babadimri"), Armenia ("Gaghant Baba"), Brazil ("Papai Noel"), Bulgaria ("Dyado Koleda"), Chile (Viejo Pascuero), Denmark ("Julemanden"), Egypt ("Papa NoÃ«l"), Finland ("Joulupukki"), France and French Canada ("le PÃ¨re NoÃ«l"), Germany ("Weihnachtsmann" or "Nikolaus"),Greece "ÎÎ³Î¹Î¿Ï ÎÎ±ÏÎ¯Î»Î·Ï-Îyos VasÃlis" Hungary ("MikulÃ¡s"), Iran ("Baba Noel"), Ireland ("DaidÃ na Nollag"), Italy ("Babbo Natale"), Latvia ("ZiemassvÄtku vecÄ«tis"), Lithuania ("KalÄdÅ³ Senelis"), Malta ("San Niklaw"), Mexico ("El NiÃ±ito Dios" ("Child God", meaning Jesus)), Norway ("Julenissen"), Poland ("ÅwiÄty MikoÅaj"), Portugal ("Pai Natal"), Romania ("MoÅ CrÄciun"), Russia ("Ded Moroz"), Scottish Highlands ("DaidaÃn na Nollaig"), Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina ("Deda Mraz"), South Africa ("Vader Kersfees"), Spain and some of Spanish-speaking Latin America ("PapÃ¡ Noel" or "San NicolÃ¡s" or "Santa Claus" ), Sweden ("Jultomten"), Turkey ("Noel Baba"), and the United Kingdom ("Father Christmas").
