Bischöfe (1869), p. 146; (B. D., under the word, also (American edition) under the word Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from Latin "Pudens," meaning "modest" or "bashful."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Πούδης, as it is a proper noun of Latin origin and specific to the New Testament context. Usage: The name Πούδης appears once in the New Testament, specifically in the context of a greeting. Context: Πούδης, or Pudens, is a figure mentioned in the New Testament in 2 Timothy 4:21. The Apostle Paul, in his second letter to Timothy, sends greetings from Pudens along with other believers. The verse reads: "Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers" (2 Timothy 4:21, BSB). This brief mention suggests that Pudens was part of the early Christian community in Rome and was likely a person of some standing or influence, given the company he is listed with. The context implies a close-knit group of believers who were supporting Paul during his imprisonment. While the Bible does not provide further details about Pudens, early Christian tradition and historical writings outside of the biblical text have speculated about his identity, sometimes associating him with a Roman senator or a noble family. However, these accounts are not confirmed by the biblical text itself.
