Transliteration: Eutuchos
Pronunciation: yoo'-too-khos
Phonetic Spelling: (yoo'-too-khos)
Definition: Eutychus
Meaning: Eutychus, a young hearer of Paul at Troas.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "εὖ" (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and "τύχη" (tuchē, meaning "fortune" or "luck").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Eutychus, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of being "fortunate" or "blessed" can be related to Hebrew words like "אַשְׁרֵי" (ashrei, Strong's Hebrew 835), meaning "blessed" or "happy."

Usage: Eutychus is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a young man who is mentioned in the Book of Acts. His name means "fortunate" or "lucky," which is fitting given the miraculous event associated with him.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics or life events. The name Eutychus, meaning "fortunate," is particularly poignant in the context of the biblical narrative. The account of Eutychus takes place in Troas, a city in the Roman province of Asia, during the early Christian period when the Apostle Paul was spreading the Gospel.
