Story of the name Soter 🔗
Soter derives from the Ancient Greek epithet Σωτήρ (Sōtḗr), meaning a savior, a deliverer. The feminine form is Soteira (Σώτειρα, Sṓteira) or sometimes Soteria (Σωτηρία, Sōtería).
Soter was used as a title of gods in Greek culture, a title for Hellenistic rules such as Ptolemy I Soter, ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt (reigned 323 –283 BCE), Ptolemy IX (died 81 BCE), twice king of Ptolemaic Egypt, and a title of Jesus of Nazareth, which came into use some time after the death of Paul the Apostle, most particularly in the fish acronym.
The term “God our Savior” (Greek: θεῷ σωτῆρι ἡμῶν, dative) occurs several times in the New Testament, in the Epistle of Jude, 1 Timothy and Titus.
