Unters., p. 30f; Roehl, Inscriptions index iii.) (ἐπαινέω), Ἐπαινετου, ὁ, Epaenetus, the name of a Christian mentioned in Romans 16:5. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἔπαινος (epainos), meaning "praise" or "commendation."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries for the Greek name Ἐπαίνετος, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of being "praiseworthy" or "commendable" can be related to Hebrew words such as תְּהִלָּה (tehillah, Strong's Hebrew 8416), meaning "praise" or "song of praise." Usage: The name Epainetos appears in the New Testament as a personal name. It is used to refer to a specific individual in the early Christian community. Context: Epainetos is mentioned in the New Testament in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans. In Romans 16:5, Paul sends greetings to Epainetos, whom he describes as "the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia." This indicates that Epainetos was an early believer and likely played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in that region. His mention in Paul's letter suggests that he was a respected member of the Christian community, possibly involved in ministry or leadership.
