Definition: "Nicname" was a common term in early Christian contexts, often used for informal family names or titles, not to indicate gender or title but rather as an honorific for mutual respect. For example: - "My noble Lord," "My King's son." - "Your dear Lady." This term implies that the speaker has special relationship with someone and is addressing them formally. The word can also be used for casual or informal use, so it could be a nickname without specific gender. To provide more detailed definitions from the Bible: - "Nickname" refers to an honorific title or name given by one person to another, often to show respect. - In Old Testament, this term was used for titles of God's representatives in Israelites and other nations. It could also be applied to family members, friends, or even strangers. In the New Testament, it is used in a more formal way and denotes an honorific title given by Jesus himself. - "My noble Lord," "My King's son." - "Your dear Lady."
