Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Ἑρμῆς, as it is a name rooted in Greek culture and mythology. However, the concept of a messenger, which is associated with the Greek god Hermes, can be related to the Hebrew word מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh), meaning "messenger" or "angel," though this is more thematic than a direct lexical correspondence. Usage: The name Ἑρμῆς appears in the New Testament in the context of a personal name, specifically referring to a Christian believer in Rome. Context: The name Ἑρμῆς is mentioned in the New Testament in the Epistle to the Romans. In Romans 16:14, Paul sends greetings to a group of believers in Rome, among whom is Hermēs. The verse reads: "Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermēs, and the brothers with them" (BSB). This brief mention indicates that Hermēs was part of the early Christian community in Rome, likely a member of a house church or a small group of believers. The inclusion of Hermēs in this list suggests that he was a person of some standing or recognition within the community, though specific details about his life or role in the church are not provided in the biblical text.
