Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3652: ὈλυμπᾶςὈλυμπᾶς (perhaps contracted from Ὀλυμπιοδωρος, Winers Grammar, 103 (97); cf. Fick, Gr. Personennamen, pp. 63f, 201), Ὀλυμπα (Buttmann, 20 (18)), ὁ, Olympas, a certain Christian: Romans 16:15. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "Ὄλυμπος" (Olympos), which refers to Mount Olympus, the mythological home of the Greek gods.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Olympas, as it is a Greek name specific to the New Testament context. However, the concept of greeting fellow believers and acknowledging their contributions is a theme present throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The name Olympas appears once in the New Testament, specifically in the context of a greeting from the Apostle Paul. Context: Olympas is a Christian believer mentioned in the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans. In Romans 16:15, Paul extends greetings to various members of the early Christian community in Rome, including Olympas. The verse reads: "Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them." (BSB) This brief mention suggests that Olympas was part of a group of believers who were significant enough in the early church to be acknowledged by Paul. The context implies a close-knit community of faith, possibly a house church, where Olympas was an active participant. While little is known about Olympas beyond this reference, his inclusion in Paul's greetings indicates his standing as a respected member of the early Christian community. The name itself, being of Greek origin, reflects the diverse cultural backgrounds of the early Christians.
