Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


FORTUNATUS.—The name of an apparently young member of the household of Stephanas, and a Corinthian. With Stephanas and Achaicus he visited St. Paul at Ephesus (1Co_16:17); he had probably been baptized by the Apostle himself (1Co_1:16). Lightfoot (Clement, i. 29, ii. 187) thinks that he may well have been alive forty years later, and that he may be the Fortunatus mentioned in Clement of Rome’s Epistle to the Corinthians (§ 65). The manner in which the name is there introduced suggests that it belongs to a Corinthian.

(1Co_16:17). Of Stephanas' household probably 1Co_1:16), which Paul himself baptized. At Ephesus with Stephanas and Achaicus when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians.

Fortuna'tus. (fortunate). 1Co_16:17. One of the three Corinthians, the others being Stephanas and Achaicus, who were at Ephesus when St. Paul wrote his first Epistle. There is a Fortunatus mentioned in the end of Clement's first Epistle to the Corinthians, who was possibly the same person.

fôr-t̬ū̇-nā?tus (Φορτουνάτος, Phortounátos): A Roman proper name turned into Gr; same as Latin adjective fortunatus, meaning ?blest,? or ?fortunate.? Found only once in the Bible (1Co_16:17). Fortunatus, with Stephanas and Achaicus, was an amabassador of the Corinthian church, whose presence at Ephesus refreshed the spirit of the apostle Paul.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


Fortuna?tus, a disciple of Corinth, of Roman birth or origin, as his name indicates, who visited Paul at Ephesus, and returned, along with Stephanus and Achaicus, in charge of that Apostle's first Epistle to the Corinthian church, B.C. 59 (1Co_16:17).

Fortunatus
(Graecized Φορτούνατος), a disciple of Corinth, of Roman birth or origin, as his name indicates, who visited Paul at Ephesus, and returned, along with Stephanus and Achaicus, in charge of that apostle's first Epistle to the Corinthian Church (1Co_16:17), A.D. 54. Some have supposed that these three Corinthian brethren were “they which are of the house of Chloe” (οἱ Χλοῆς), alluded to in 1Co_1:11; but the language of irony, in which the apostle must in that case be interpreted in chapter 16 as speaking of their presence, would become sarcasm too cutting for so tender a heart as Paul's to have uttered among his valedictions. “The household of Stephanas” is mentioned in chapter 1:16 as having been baptized by Paul himself: perhaps Fortunatus and Achaicus may have been members of that household. There is a Fortunatus mentioned at the end of Clement's first Epistle to the Corinthians, who was possibly the same person.
