Strong's Lexicon Truphósa: Tryphosa Original Word: Τρυφῶσα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τρυφάω (truphaō), meaning "to live luxuriously" or "to be delicate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Tryphosa, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of laboring or working hard for the Lord can be related to Hebrew words like עָבַד (avad - Strong's H5647), meaning "to serve" or "to work." Usage: Tryphosa is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a Christian woman in the early church. The name is mentioned in the context of greetings and commendations by the Apostle Paul, indicating her involvement in the ministry and her dedication to the work of the Lord. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, names like Tryphosa, which are derived from words associated with luxury and delicacy, were not uncommon. Such names might reflect the social status or aspirations of the family. However, in the context of the early Christian community, these names take on a new significance as individuals like Tryphosa are commended for their labor and service, rather than for any worldly luxury or status.
