We got this pronunciation from the French for "Saint Nicholas".
Let me show you:
In French, Saint Nicholas is pronounced, 'Sant Ni-klaws'. Now we have Sant -ni-claus, or simply, Santniclaus. Drop out the 'n' because it is hard to say, and you have, "Santiclaus", or simply, "Santa Claus".

∙ 11y agoHis original name was Nicholas.
He became a saint so he was known as Saint Nicholas.
In German, the nickname for Nicholas is Claus, so we've adopted the German nickname by calling him Santa Claus.
In Britain, they call him Father Christmas
