The name is Greek, but was probably prevalent in Syria, as we find one of the generals of Antiochus Epiphanes called by it (2 Maccabees 8:9). It is more than likely, therefore, that he was a Hellenist Jew of Syria. He is mentioned as one of the Seven in Acts 6:5, a man of repute among the brethren, but we hear and know no more of him.
