lord; an earthly man
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
GAIUS.This name is mentioned in five places of NT. One Gaius was St. Pauls host at Corinth, converted and baptized by him (Rom_16:23, 1Co_1:14). He was perhaps the same as Gaius of Derbe who accompanied the Apostle from Greece to Asia (Act_20:4); if so, he would be a native of Derbe, but a dweller at Corinth. The Gaius of Macedonia, St. Pauls companion in travel who was seized in the riot at Ephesus (Act_19:29), and the Gaius addressed by St. John (3Jn_1:1), were probably different men.

Paul's host at Corinth when Paul wrote (Rom_16:23), "mine host and of the whole church." Baptized by that apostle (1Co_1:14). The third epistle of John is addressed to "the well beloved" Gaius or Caius; probably the same, for he evidently had the means to do kindness "to the brethren and to strangers." He was converted through John (3Jn_1:4-5). A Gaius of Macedonia is mentioned in Act_19:29, and a Gaius of Derbe (Act_20:4); probably distinct men.

Gai'us. Gai'us or Cai'us (lord). ?
1. A Macedonian, who accompanied Paul in his travels, and whose life was in danger, from the mob at Ephesus. Act_19:29. (A.D. 54).
2. Of Derbe. He went with Paul, from Corinth, in his last journey to Jerusalem. Act_20:4. (A.D. 54).
3. Of Corinth, whom Paul baptized and who was his host, in his second journey in that city. 1Co_1:14; Rom_16:23. (These are supposed by some to be only one person).
4. John's third Epistle is addressed to a Christian of this name. We may possibly identify him with Gaius, 2.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
There are several people named Gaius in the New Testament, all except one of them connected with Paul. Paul baptized a man named Gaius in Corinth (1Co_1:14), and this was probably the person Paul stayed with on a later visit to Corinth (Rom_16:23). Another person named Gaius was from Macedonia (Act_19:29) and another from Derbe (Act_20:4). According to a variation in some texts of Act_20:4, this latter Gaius may have been from Thessalonica, in which case he was possibly the same person referred to in Act_19:29.
Later in the first century, the apostle John wrote a letter to a friend named Gaius. He was a person noted for his strong faith, exemplary life, generous hospitality and sincere love (3Jn_1:1-6).

gā?yus (Γάΐος, Gáios; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek, Gaı́os):
(1) The Gaius to whom 3 Jn is addressed. He is spoken of as ?the beloved? (3Jo_1:1, 3Jo_1:2, 3Jo_1:5, 3Jo_1:11), ?walking in the truth? (3Jo_1:3, 3Jo_1:4), and doing ?a faithful work? ?toward them that are brethren and strangers withal? (3Jo_1:5, 3Jo_1:6). He has been identified by some with the Gaius mentioned in the Apostolical Constitutions (VII, 46), as having been appointed bishop of Pergamum by John.
(2) Gaius of Macedonia, a ?companion in travel? of Paul (Act_19:29). He was one of those who were seized by Demetrius and the other silversmiths in the riot at Ephesus, during Paul's third missionary journey.
(3) Gaius of Derbe, who was among those who accompanied Paul from Greece ?as far as Asia,? during his third missionary journey (Act_20:4). In the corresponding list given in the ?Contendings of Paul? (compare Budge, Contendings of the Twelve Apostles, II, 592), the name of this Gaius is given as ?Gallius.?
(4) Gaius, the host of Paul when he wrote the Epistle to the Roman, and who joined in sending his salutations (Rom_16:23). As Paul wrote this epistle from Corinth, it is probable that this Gaius is identical with (5).
(5) Gaius, whom Paul baptized at Corinth (1Co_1:14).

Gaius
(Γάϊος, for Lat. Caius, a common Roman name), the name of three or four men in the N.T.
1. A Macedonian, and fellow-traveler of Paul, who was seized by the populace at Ephesus (Act_19:29), A.D. 54.
2. A man of Derbe (an epithet which some have very unnaturally transferred to Timothy) who accompanied Paul in his last journey to Jerusalem (Act_20:4), AD. 55.
3. An inhabitant of Corinth with whom Paul lodged, and in whose house the Christians were accustomed to assemble (Rom_16:23; 1Co_1:14), A.D. 55. He was perhaps the same with one of the preceding.
4. A Christian (probably of Asia Minor) to whom John addressed his third epistle (3Jn_1:1), A.D. cir. 92. SEE JOHN, EPISTLES OF. There is no good reason for regarding him as identical with either of the foregoing (Wolf, Curae, ad loc.).
