Usage: The name Achaicus appears in the New Testament as a personal name, specifically referring to a Christian associated with the church in Corinth.

Context: Achaicus is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of the early Christian church. He is referenced in 1 Corinthians 16:17, where the Apostle Paul expresses gratitude for the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus. These individuals are noted for their service and support to Paul and the Corinthian church. The passage reads: "I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you."
