History and Origin
Spanish: from the Late Greek name Nikanōr. This is probably a byform of the earlier name Nikandēr, which is composed of the elements nikē victory + anēr man (genitive andros). It was the name of one of the Hellenized Jews chosen as deacons by the apostles (Acts 6: 5). One of the gates of the temple in Jesusalem was known as ‘Nicanor’s Gate', apparently after an official who was governor of Jerusalem in the 2nd century AD.
