Yes, it was used during his lifetime

No, it was a Byzantine concept
Answer
The term "Neoplatonism" was not invented until the 19th century. It was used to describe the revival of interest in Platonic philosophy that occurred during that time. The term is not entirely accurate, as the philosophers who were part of this revival did not necessarily agree with all of Plato's ideas. However, they did share a common interest in Platonic metaphysics and epistemology.
