Hermogenes (proper name)
This is a personal name—Hermogenes, mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:15 as someone who turned away from Paul along with all those in Asia. The name means 'born of Hermes' or 'Hermes-born,' a common Greek theophoric name. We know nothing more about this individual beyond this negative reference. The multilingual evidence shows standard name handling: transliteration preserving the Greek form (Hermogenes, Hermogénēs). His inclusion in scripture memorializes his abandonment of Paul, though the specific circumstances remain unknown.

Senses
1. sense 1 Paul's mention of Hermogenes in 2 Timothy 1:15 as one who turned away records a painful abandonment—this man and Phygelus represent the broader Asian defection from Paul. The cross-linguistic glosses simply transliterate the name (Hermogenes, Hermogénēs), as names typically transfer phonologically. The theophoric element (Hermes-born) would have been unremarkable in Greek culture. The man exists in scripture as an example of apostasy or abandonment, though whether this was theological, personal, or circumstantial defection remains unclear.
