From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Nicodemus
     the people is victor, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin.
     He is first noticed as visiting Jesus by night (John 3:1-21) for
     the purpose of learning more of his doctrines, which our Lord
     then unfolded to him, giving prominence to the necessity of
     being "born again." He is next met with in the Sanhedrin


     (7:50-52), where he protested against the course they were
     taking in plotting against Christ. Once more he is mentioned as
     taking part in the preparation for the anointing and burial of
     the body of Christ (John 19:39). We hear nothing more of him.
     There can be little doubt that he became a true disciple.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Nicodemus, victory of the people
