Οὐρβανός G3773
Urbanus (Latin personal name, meaning 'of the city')
This is the Greek form of the Latin name Urbanus, meaning 'urban' or 'of the city.' Paul sends greetings to this individual in his letter to the Romans, identifying him as 'our fellow worker in Christ.' The name suggests Roman citizenship or urban origins, common among slaves and freedmen in the imperial capital. That Paul calls him a co-worker indicates active participation in ministry. The name itself appears with slight variations across languages, reflecting transliteration conventions.
