Eutychus

The name that is transliterated as “Eutychus” in English means “fortunate,” “happy,” “well off.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines “watching,” “sleeping,” and “falling.” (Eutychus was a boy who, while watching Paul preach, fell asleep and fell out of a window — see Acts 20:9). (Source: Missão Kophós )
