Ὁ Ὅσιος Νεῖλος καταγόταν ἀπὸ τὸν Ἅγιο Πέτρο Κυνουρίας καὶ ἔζησε κατὰ τὸ πρῶτο ἥμισυ τοῦ 17ου αἰῶνα μ.Χ. Ἀπὸ νεαρὴ ἡλικία παρελήφθη ἀπὸ τὸν θεῖο του, ἱερομόναχο Μακάριο, στὴν ἐκεῖ ἱερὰ μονὴ Κοιμήσεως τῆς Θεοτόκου, τὴν καλουμένη τοῦ Μαλεβῆ, ὅπου καὶ ἀφοῦ ἐκπαιδεύθηκε μὲ θεοσέβεια, χειροτονήθηκε διάκονος. Ποθώντας ὅμως καὶ οἱ δυὸ ἀκόμη πιὸ ἀσκητικὸ βίο, μετέβησαν στὸ Ἅγιον Ὄρος, ὅπου, ἀφοῦ γιὰ λίγο χρόνο ἀσκήτεψαν στὸ σπήλαιο ποὺ εἶχε ἀσκητέψει ὁ Ὅσιος Πέτρος ὁ Ἀθωνίτης († 12 Ἰουνίου), στὴ συνέχεια μετέβησαν σὲ ἔρημη ἔκταση κοντὰ στὴ Λαύρα τοῦ Ὁσίου Ἀθανασίου, ἔκτισαν ναὸ τιμώμενο στὸ ὄνομα τῆς Ὑπαπαντῆς καὶ παρέμειναν ἐκεῖ ἀσκητεύοντας μὲ αὐστηρότητα.
