Strong's Lexicon Galatia: Galatia Original Word: Γαλατία Word Origin: Derived from the name of the region inhabited by the Gauls (Celtic tribes) in Asia Minor. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Galatia, as it is a specific Greek term referring to a region outside of the traditional Hebrew-speaking areas. Usage: Galatia refers to a region in central Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) that was inhabited by Celtic tribes known as the Galatians. In the New Testament, it is primarily known as the destination of Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. The term can refer to either the geographical region or the Roman province that included parts of Phrygia, Pisidia, and Lycaonia. Cultural and Historical Background: Galatia was originally settled by Celtic tribes who migrated from Europe around the 3rd century BC. By the time of the New Testament, it had become a Roman province. The Galatians were known for their distinct cultural identity, which included elements of both Celtic and Hellenistic influences. The Apostle Paul visited Galatia during his missionary journeys and established several churches there. The region was significant in early Christianity due to its diverse population and strategic location.
