Etymology & Historical Origin-Lydia. The name Lydia is derived from an ancient Greek kingdom located in what is now modern-day Turkey. The name means, quite literally, a woman from Lydia. Lydia was later the name of a Roman province where coins were invented around 600 B.C. The name Lydia is also borne from the Bible [Acts 16:11-15, 40] who was converted to Christianity by the Apostle Paul.
Lydia was an exceedingly ancient and powerful kingdom whose history is composed chiefly of that of its individual cities. In 546 BC it fell into the hands of the Persians, and in 334 BC it became a part of Alexander's empire.
