Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 711: ἈριστόβουλοςἈριστόβουλος, Ἀριστοβούλου, ὁ (literally, best-counselling), Aristobulus a certain Christian (cf. B. D. American edition under the word and Lightfoot on Philippians, p. 174f): Romans 16:10. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "ἄριστος" (aristos), meaning "best," and "βουλή" (boulē), meaning "counsel" or "advice."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Aristobulus, as it is a Hellenistic name. However, the concept of a "counselor" or "advisor" can be related to Hebrew words such as יָעַץ (ya'ats, Strong's Hebrew 3289), meaning "to advise" or "to counsel." Usage: The name Aristobulus appears in the New Testament in the context of early Christian greetings and community. Context: Aristobulus is mentioned in the New Testament in the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans. In Romans 16:10, Paul sends greetings to "those who belong to the household of Aristobulus." This reference suggests that Aristobulus was a person of some standing within the early Christian community, possibly a leader or a host of a house church. The mention of his household rather than Aristobulus himself may imply that he was not a believer or was absent at the time, but his household was significant enough to be acknowledged by Paul. The name Aristobulus was common in the Hellenistic world, and some scholars speculate that he might have been connected to the Herodian dynasty, although this is not explicitly stated in the text. The greeting reflects the interconnectedness of early Christian communities and the importance of household networks in the spread of Christianity.
