Epaphroditus

The name that is transliterated as “Epaphroditus” in English means “lovely,” “handsome,” “charming.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines “lovely” (or “beloved of Aphrodite,” the meaning of the name) and “beloved friend” (of Paul — see Philippians 2:25). (Source: Missão Kophós )
