Deacon Meaning

Either from the occupational surname Deacon or directly from the vocabulary word deacon, which refer to a cleric in the Christian church (ultimately from Greek διακονος (diakonos) meaning "servant"). Deacon is an Anglo – Scottish name and is derived from the Old English word “deakne”, itself derived from the Latin word “diaconus” or the Greek “diakonos” which means "a manservant or a friend". In Latin the term came to be associated with the clergy, with a deacon being a rank below that of an ordained minister.
