Well you see, St. Nick was once a bi gt time drug lord shipping crates of snow allover the world. One night he made a bad shipment to the wrong kind of folks ,short people. As everyone knows, short people are like concentrated regular people in that they contain exactly the same amount of everything ,but in a more compact package. Note where we got the term "short temper". No normal person can handle that much anger packed into such a minute container. So anyway, back to the business of big daddy Nick. He thought he could fool these "elves" into taking the blow that was cut 3/4 of the way with baking soda(that jerk). Of course they found out and repeatedly caned his knee caps shouting "You see what you get? Ain't too jolly now, are ya? Now say it, say your name so we can get a real good picture and sound in our memories. We want to hear them dying words." Nick tried to spit out his name with diction ,but instead he let out a bloody "Ssssanta................" You see, He was about to say "Saint Nick" but he passed out right before saying nick because of excessive blood loss. He was rushed to one of those fancy teaching hospitals where every body's a kickass doctor ,and the head doctor guy is a total druggie ,but still a totally kickass doc. He traded some of his wares and he is 'til this day equipped with the finest prosthetics available. That stomach of his, totally prosthetic. That's why he can eat all of those terrible cookies and not have a coronary. Anyway, today he's out of the drug business...for the most part. The elves saw his tricked out prosthetic belly and decided they didn't want to get eaten, and so now he has miniature slave labor, making etch-a-skethes, barbies, and other copywrighted products, undercutting big business. Although he's mostly clean, sometimes a lucky tot can still find a nice size piece of "coal" in his stocking where what would have been some stupid tomagachi or some other lame toy. They never told you the coal was white, did they?

It came from the old Dutch word for St. Nick: Sinte Klaas (altho now I think they use Sinterklaas).
Altho the modern idea of Santa is a mixture of a lot of different traditions and figures, not just St. Nick.

If you say "Saint Nicholas" fast enough and with a bit of an accent you will eventually wind up with Santa Claus.
That is what happened, over time different pronounciations resulted in how the name is now pronounced.

from the Duch I think.... they shortened Nickolass to Claouse(sp) and to non Duch it sounded like "Santa Clause" when they said it.
