Strong's Lexicon Nain: Nain Original Word: Ναΐν Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, likely derived from the Hebrew word נָעִים (na'im), meaning "pleasant" or "lovely." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - נָעִים (na'im) - Strong's Hebrew 5276: Meaning "pleasant" or "delightful," which is likely the root of the name Nain. Usage: Nain is a small town mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. It is known for being the site where Jesus performed the miracle of raising a widow's son from the dead. The name itself suggests a place that is pleasant or delightful, which may reflect its geographical or cultural setting. Cultural and Historical Background: Nain was a village located in Galilee, near Mount Tabor and about six miles southeast of Nazareth. During the time of Jesus, it was a small, relatively insignificant town. The mention of Nain in the Gospel of Luke highlights the reach of Jesus' ministry into even the smaller, less prominent areas of the region. The miracle performed there underscores Jesus' compassion and authority over life and death, which would have been a powerful testament to His divine nature.
