Santa Claus is a derivation of "Saint Nicholas" (Sanctus Nicolaus), a 4th-century Turkish Christian saint who had an habit of giving gifts.

and that is why people should avoid using Wikipedia for research - just because the Roman Empire was currently holding onto a place, and called it part of their Empire, does not mean the people there were Roman - parts of Britain became part of the Roman empire - but they were never Roman ! :P (and don't shout, it's rude :)
