Arms associated with the name

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Nückel, so the heraldry linked to Nickel is a starting point, not an automatic right.

The two spellings differ in a small detail: Nückel has “ü” where Nickel has “i”. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. Related forms: Nickels and Nikolaus.
