The traditional English name for Santa Claus is Father Christmas. The American influence has caused a gradual shift from this name.
Santa is a bit of a chameleon, adapting to different environments and backdrops- in England, he is generally called Father Christmas, same title ( In French) used in France. St. Nick - or variants thereof common in Germany and Scandinavian countries- somewhat oddly the Swiss, in the city of Zurich had a local festival honoring St. nicholas ( as a bishop) which had a parade of marchers in outsized hats mostly ecclesisastical in style and bore the name of the Klausjagen- roughly ( Claus" Hunt) and really this ceremony had nothing to do with Christmas!
