AI Summary
Titus is a personal name (not a common noun) belonging to two different individuals in the New Testament 14.
The name most often refers to a disciple and companion of Paul, mentioned repeatedly in Paul's letters, including a letter addressed to him 1. It is described as a name of Latin origin whose exact meaning is uncertain 2.
The same name is also applied, in one place, to a man surnamed Justus; some manuscripts instead give this person's name as a related but distinct form, Titius 1.
