Strong's Lexicon Néreus: Nereus Original Word: Νηρεύς Word Origin: Of uncertain origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Néreus, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context. Usage: Néreus is a personal name mentioned in the New Testament. It appears in the context of greetings extended by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in the Greek language, but it is used to identify an individual within the early Christian community in Rome. Cultural and Historical Background: Néreus is mentioned in Romans 16:15, a chapter where Paul sends greetings to various members of the Roman church. The name Néreus was relatively common in the Greco-Roman world, and it is possible that he was a member of a household or a church group in Rome. The early Christian community in Rome was diverse, consisting of both Jews and Gentiles, and it played a significant role in the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.
