Dutch families took the tradition of celebrating the feast day of Saint Nicholas with them to New Amsterdam, now known as New York, in the American colonies, beginning as early as the 17th century.
They referred to him as Sinterklaas.
That name became Santa Claus to the early United States' English-speaking majority, and was later adopted throughout the world.
