The movies "Santa Clause" were a play on the word "clause", which is to do with the details of a contract (as seen in the movies).
Either way, Santa Claus is a corruption of Santa Nicolaus, i.e. Saint Nicholas.

∙ 8y agoSanta Claus is the name popularly given to the man who children believe delivers toys on Christmas Eve.
The Santa Clause is the name of a series of movies starring Tim Allen. The word "clause" means part of a legal contract, and is in the films' titles as a play on words because Allen's character finds himself required to take over for the "real" Santa Claus.
The movies were so popular that a lot of people now mistakenly believe that "Santa Clause" refers to the man himself, a bit like Kurt Cobain's album title "Nevermind" caused people to believe the expression is a single word instead of two ("Oh, never mind!").
