Strong's Lexicon Hermogenés: Hermogenes Original Word: Ἑρμογένης Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Hermogenés Pronunciation: her-mog-en-ace' Phonetic Spelling: (her-mog-en'-ace) Definition: Hermogenes, a man of Rome. Meaning: Hermogenes is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the New Testament. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek god Hermes and the suffix -γενής (genes), meaning "born of" or "descendant of." Thus, Hermogenes can be understood as "born of Hermes" or "descendant of Hermes." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Hermogenes, as it is a proper noun of Greek origin and does not have a counterpart in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The name Hermogenes appears once in the New Testament, specifically in the context of Paul's second letter to Timothy. Context: Hermogenes is mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:15, where the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy about those who have turned away from him during his imprisonment. The verse states: "You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes." (BSB) Hermogenes, along with Phygelus, is noted for his desertion of Paul, which is a significant point in the epistle as it highlights the challenges and isolation Paul faced during his ministry. The mention of Hermogenes serves as a cautionary example of unfaithfulness and the trials that can accompany the Christian journey. The context suggests that Hermogenes, once a companion or associate of Paul, chose to abandon him, possibly due to fear of persecution or a lack of steadfastness in faith. The brief mention of Hermogenes, without further details, leaves much to speculation regarding his background or subsequent actions. However, his inclusion in this passage underscores the reality of apostasy and the need for perseverance in the face of adversity. The reference to Hermogenes serves as a reminder of the importance of loyalty and support within the Christian community, especially during times of trial.
