At least one for every language, for each culture in which he is a part. He is Sinterklaas to the Dutch, Weinachtsmann (Christmas Man) or ChristKind to the Germans. He is known as Santa Claus, Kriss Kringle, Father Christmas, St. Nick or St. Nicholas, in French he is Pere Noel. I'm sure the list goes on.
