Where did Santa get his name from?

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".
