Actually, although Nicodemus is a Greek name, the Hebrew equivalent is Nakdimon נקדימון. It is thought that Nicodemus of John 3 in the Ha'Brit Ha'Chadesha (Christian New Testament), is Nakdimon ben Gurion (ben=son) who is also noted in Josephus and the Talmud. According to Wikipedia, though, Nakdimon (Nicodemus) is a nickname and his real name was Bunai.

Is nicodemus a greek name?

This isn't a mythology question, but I can answer it for you.Nicodemus is indeed a Greek name and it means "victory of the people". It seems strange to some people that such a prominent Hebrew figure would have a Greek name, but they are forgetting their history. At that time, Greek was the common language of commerce and education. I imagine that as a Pharisee, Nicodemus knew Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and Aramaic. Maybe more even. Having a Greek name would have made it easier for Nicodemus to be taken seriously by the Romans and other prominent members of society (since he was "fitting in").In Hebrew, it would have been something like NQDYMVN or Naqdimon. It's also worth noting that the names we see in the New Testiment are mostly Anglicized from Latin versions of Greek names. Jesus from Yeshua. Simon from Shim'on. Peter from Cephus (Aramaic for "stone" - Peter is from petros, Greek for "stone").

Does nicodemus mean devil?

No, the most famous use of the name is for a Biblical character, Nicodemus, who was actually kind to Jesus when most of the other Pharisees were evil. I think a few people find the name evil-sounding, perhaps because "demus" sounds like "demon". Nikken is a germanic word for devil, too. And of course "old Nick" is a rather silly name for Satan.
