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").

Did St Paul speak Hebrew and Aramaic and did he write any manuscript in this language?

A:Paul's first language was Greek. Paul was born in Tarsus, in modern day Turkey, at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. From Greece eastward, the people in the lands around the eastern Mediterranean spoke Greek, usually as a first language, but certainly as second. In all the provinces, Greek was the language of governance and trade. In Galatians, Paul described how he visited Jerusalem to speak to the members of the Jerusalem Church, including James and Peter. The story also appears in Acts. In Palestine itself, there were three main languages in use. Greek was the language of the Roman Empire and so anyone who spoke to the government or who engaged in trade would speak Greek. During the centuries in which Greek entered Palestine, from about 330 BC onwards, the main Jewish language was Aramaic which had been learned during the Babylonian Exile. Starting in the Exile, Hebrew had been relegated to a liturgical language. So it is probable that when Paul visited Jerusalem, he spoke Greek to the members of the Church. Also, Paul's discussion of the "Law," nomos, in Romans assumes the standard Greek meaning of the word. His theological explanation is not based on the Hebrew word Torah which is what nomos translates in the Greek Septuagint. We have no record of any manuscript written by Paul in Hebrew or Aramaic.
