Tryphena

Name meaning: delicious; delicate (Hitchcock)

and Trypho’sa (luxurious), two Christian women at Rome, enumerated in the conclusion of St. Paul’s letter. (Romans 16:12) (A.D. 55.) They may have been sisters, but it is more likely that they were fellow deaconesses. We know nothing more of these two sister workers of the apostolic time.
