Herodion
Holman Bible Dictionary
(hih roh' dih uhn) Christian man to whom Paul the Apostle sent a greeting (Romans 16:11 ). Paul referred to him as a kinsman. This probably means that he was of Jewish birth. His name suggests that he might have a member of the family of Herod. This possibility is strengthened by the fact that the name immediately preceding his is Aristobulus (Romans 16:10 ). Herodion could have been one of those in the household of Aristobulus.
