Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of uncertain origin, possibly derived from the Greek word for "copper" (κύπρος), as Cyprus was known for its copper resources in antiquity.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Κύπρος in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, as Cyprus is primarily a geographical term used in the context of the New Testament Greek. However, the island is indirectly referenced in the Old Testament as Kittim (כִּתִּים, Strong's Hebrew 3794), which is sometimes associated with Cyprus or the broader region of the Mediterranean islands. Usage: The term Κύπρος is used in the New Testament to refer to the island of Cyprus, which played a notable role in the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul and Barnabas. Context: Cyprus is an island located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, known for its strategic location and natural resources, particularly copper. In the New Testament, Cyprus is mentioned in the context of the early Christian church and missionary activities. It is the native land of Barnabas, a prominent figure in the early church (Acts 4:36). Cyprus is notably featured in the Book of Acts, where it is the first destination of Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:4-6). They traveled through the island, preaching the gospel in the synagogues, and encountered the proconsul Sergius Paulus, who became a believer (Acts 13:7-12).
