Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Bartimaeus, the name is related to the Aramaic "bar" (H1247) meaning "son."

Usage: Bartimaeus is a personal name meaning "son of Timaeus." In the New Testament, it specifically refers to a blind beggar who encounters Jesus in the Gospel of Mark.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, blindness was often associated with poverty and marginalization. Beggars like Bartimaeus would typically sit by the roadside, relying on alms from passersby. The name "Bartimaeus" indicates a familial connection, suggesting that his father's name was Timaeus, which may have been a known figure or simply a common name of the time.
