Strong's Lexicon
Suntuché: Syntyche

Original Word: Συντύχη
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: Suntuché
Pronunciation: soon-TOO-khay
Phonetic Spelling: (soon-too'-khay)
Definition: Syntyche
Meaning: Syntyche, a woman member of the church at Philippi.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "συν-" (sun), meaning "with" or "together," and "τύχη" (tuché), meaning "fortune" or "chance."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Syntyche, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of unity and reconciliation can be related to Hebrew words like "שָׁלוֹם" (shalom, Strong's H7965), meaning peace or completeness.

Usage: Syntyche is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a Christian woman in the church at Philippi. Her name appears in the context of a personal appeal by the Apostle Paul for unity and reconciliation within the church.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian church, women often played significant roles in the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of church communities. Philippi was a Roman colony in Macedonia, and its church was one of the first European Christian communities. The mention of Syntyche, alongside another woman named Euodia, highlights the active participation of women in the early church and the challenges of maintaining unity amidst diversity.
