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.
ð¼The name Lydia in the Bible. The name Lydia is applied to one woman and one country in the Bible. The one and only female Lydia in the Bible was Paul's first European convert; a woman originally from Thyatira but living in Philippi in Macedonia, working as a trader in purple fabrics (Acts 16:14). Thyatira (now Akhisar in western Turkey) was made a Macedonian colony in 290 BC and became part of Pergamum in 190 BC.
