Name Origin

  • Onesiphorus (name meaning "bringing profit") was a Christian referred to in the New Testament letter of Second Timothy. Wikipedia: Onesiphorus – RE:Timothy: 2 Tim 1:16–18; 2 Tim 4:19.
  • OrthodoxChurchinAmerica.org titles him “Apostle Onesiphorus of the Seventy”. One of two Catholic centered websites, NewAdvent.org, states, “The Acts of the martyr St. Onesiphorus prove that there was a Christian community there before 180.” The other, Catholic.org states, “Martyr with Porphyrius. Onesiphorus was mentioned in St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy. According to tradition, they went to Spain in the footsteps of St. Paul and then suffered martyrdom on the Hellespont, under Emperor Domitian. They were tied to wild horses and torn to pieces. Porphyrius was said to be a member of Onesiphorus' household.”
