The name that is transliterated as «Apelles» in English means «separate,» «exclude.» (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )
In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines «person» and «calling» (the name is also possibly interpreted to mean «called»). (Source: Missão Kophós )
