However, the concept of victory is often associated with the Hebrew word "נֵצַח" (netsach), meaning "victory" or "eternity."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Nicanor is a proper noun used as a personal name in the New Testament. It is associated with one of the seven men chosen to serve the early church in Jerusalem, as recorded in the Book of Acts. The name itself signifies "victorious man" or "conqueror."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the early Christian church, Nicanor was one of the seven deacons selected to assist the apostles by managing the daily distribution of food and resources to the Hellenistic Jewish widows. This selection was part of an effort to address complaints of neglect and ensure equitable treatment within the growing Christian community. The choice of Nicanor and the other deacons reflects the church's commitment to unity and service, as well as the importance of administrative roles in supporting the spiritual mission of the church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably from <a href="/greek/3528.htm">nikaó</a> and <a href="/greek/435.htm">anér</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Nicanor, a Christian<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Nicanor (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3527: Νικάνωρ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Νικάνωρ</span></span> ((i. e.
