Strong's Lexicon Klópas: Clopas Original Word: Κλωπᾶς Word Origin: Of uncertain origin, possibly a Hellenized form of a Hebrew or Aramaic name. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Clopas, as it is a Greek adaptation. However, it may be related to the Hebrew name "Chalphi" or "Chalpa," though this is speculative. Usage: The name Clopas appears in the New Testament as the husband of one of the women who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus. He is mentioned specifically in the Gospel of John. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of first-century Judea, names often had variations due to linguistic differences between Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Clopas is thought to be a Greek adaptation of a Semitic name. The mention of Clopas in the New Testament highlights the role of his family in the early Christian community, particularly through his wife, who was a follower of Jesus.
