It is used to refer to a Christian believer in Rome who is greeted by Paul. The name itself, meaning "ear of grain," may symbolize fruitfulness or abundance, which could reflect the character or reputation of the individual within the early Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The name Stachys was not uncommon in the Greco-Roman world and could have been used by both Greeks and Romans. The early Christian church in Rome was a diverse community, consisting of both Jews and Gentiles, and individuals like Stachys would have been part of this vibrant and growing body of believers. The mention of Stachys in Paul's letter indicates the personal connections and networks that were vital for the spread of Christianity in the first century.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/greek/4719.htm">stachus</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Stachys, a Christian at Rome<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Stachys (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4720: Στάχυς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Στάχυς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Σταχυος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (cf. the preceding word), <span class="accented">Stachys,</span> the name of a man (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> on Philip., p. 174): <a href="/interlinear/romans/16-9.htm">Romans 16:9</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Stachys. <p>The same as <a href="/greek/4719.htm">stachus</a>;
