Nicolas), a proselyte of Antioch and one of the seven deacons of the church at Jerusalem: Acts 6:5. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "νίκη" (nikē), meaning "victory," and "λαός" (laos), meaning "people."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Νικόλαος, as it is a distinctly Greek name. However, the concept of "victory" can be related to Hebrew words such as נֵצַח (netsach, Strong's Hebrew 5331) meaning "victory" or "endurance," and עַם (am, Strong's Hebrew 5971) meaning "people." These words capture the essence of the components that form the name Νικόλαος. Usage: The name Νικόλαος appears in the New Testament in reference to a specific individual, Nicolas, who is mentioned in the Book of Acts. Context: Νικόλαος is mentioned in the New Testament in Acts 6:5. He is identified as one of the seven men chosen by the early church to serve as deacons, tasked with the distribution of food and aid to the Hellenistic widows in the Christian community in Jerusalem. Nicolas is described as a proselyte from Antioch, indicating that he was a Gentile convert to Judaism before becoming a follower of Christ. The selection of Nicolas and the other six men was a response to a complaint by the Hellenistic Jews that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The apostles appointed these men to ensure fair and equitable treatment within the community, allowing the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the word.
