However, the concept of a "savior" or "deliverer" can be related to Hebrew names like Joshua (Strong's Hebrew 3091), which means "Yahweh is salvation." Usage: Sosipater is a personal name meaning "savior of his father" or "safe father." In the New Testament, Sosipater is mentioned as a companion of the Apostle Paul. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Sosipater was common in the Greco-Roman world, reflecting a cultural emphasis on familial honor and protection. Names often carried significant meanings, reflecting the hopes or characteristics parents wished to bestow upon their children.
