Meaning & Origin of Apphia
Origin: uncertain (New Testament name, possibly Phrygian).
A common claim: Commonly glossed as Greek for 'dear one,' from the New Testament epistle to Philemon. Actually: Apphia may actually be a Phrygian name rather than a Greek word, and there's no clear Greek root for 'dear one.' She's simply a woman greeted in Paul's New Testament letter to Philemon.
