Meaning & History
From the name of a city in Asia Minor mentioned in Revelation in the New Testament. According Stephanus of Byzantium, the name of the city meant "daughter" from Greek θυγατήρ (thugatēr), though it may actually be from an older Lydian name. Thyatira was not used as a given name in ancient times.
