Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the name Ἡρῴδης (Hērōdēs), which is the Greek form of Herod.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Herodion, as it is a Hellenistic name. However, the name Herod (Ἡρῴδης) itself does not have a direct Hebrew counterpart but is associated with the Herodian dynasty, which had significant interactions with the Jewish people during the Second Temple period. Usage: Herodion is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a Christian mentioned by the Apostle Paul. Context: Herodion is mentioned in the New Testament in the Epistle to the Romans. In Romans 16:11, the Apostle Paul sends greetings to Herodion, whom he refers to as "my relative." This suggests that Herodion was of Jewish descent and possibly a member of Paul's extended family or tribe. The context of the greeting indicates that Herodion was part of the early Christian community in Rome. The mention of Herodion alongside other believers in the chapter highlights the diverse and interconnected nature of the early Church, which included both Jews and Gentiles. The name Herodion, being derived from Herod, may imply a connection to the Herodian dynasty, although this is speculative. The reference to Herodion in Romans 16:11 is brief, and little else is known about him from the biblical text. However, his inclusion in Paul's greetings underscores the personal relationships and networks that were vital to the spread and support of early Christianity.
