"Santa Claus" is simply a derivation of the Dutch pronunciation of "St Nicholas".
St Nicholas lived in Turkey between 270 and 346 AD. He was famous for giving gifts to poor girls to use as dowries so that they could marry.
Modern interpretations of Santa Claus developed during the 1800s bringing together a number of festive traditions.
