The name that is transliterated as “Aristarchus” in English means “best ruling,” “the best ruler.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )
In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines “accompanying” (Aristarchus was mentioned on Paul’s three missionary journey — see for instance Acts 27:2), and “best leader” (the meaning of the name). (Source: Missão Kophós )
