Usage: Ampliatos is a personal name mentioned in the New Testament. It is used to refer to a Christian in Rome to whom the Apostle Paul sends greetings in his epistle to the Romans. The name signifies someone who is "enlarged" or "ample," possibly indicating a person of notable character or stature within the early Christian community.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Roman world, names often carried significant meaning and could reflect the character or status of an individual. Ampliatos, being a Latin name, suggests that he may have been a Roman citizen or someone of Roman descent. The early Christian church in Rome was a diverse community, comprising both Jews and Gentiles, and individuals like Ampliatos would have been part of this vibrant and growing body of believers. The mention of Ampliatos in Paul's letter indicates his importance or beloved status within the church.
