Part of Speech:Noun, Feminine
Transliteration:Galatia
Pronunciation:gah-lah-TEE-ah
Phonetic Spelling:(gal-at-ee'-ah)
Definition:Galatia
Meaning:Galatia, a large Roman province in central Asia Minor, comprising the districts of Paphlagonia, Pontus Galaticus, Galatia (in the narrower sense, which some still think is intended in the NT), Phrygia Galatica, Lycaonia Galatica, Pisidia and Isaurica.

Word Origin:Derived from the name of the region inhabited by the Gauls (Celtic tribes) in Asia Minor.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Galatia, as it is a specific Greek term referring to a region outside of the traditional Hebrew-speaking areas.

Usage:Galatia refers to a region in central Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) that was inhabited by Celtic tribes known as the Galatians. In the New Testament, it is primarily known as the destination of Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. The term can refer to either the geographical region or the Roman province that included parts of Phrygia, Pisidia, and Lycaonia.

Cultural and Historical Background:Galatia was originally settled by Celtic tribes who migrated from Europe around the 3rd century BC. By the time of the New Testament, it had become a Roman province. The Galatians were known for their distinct cultural identity, which included elements of both Celtic and Hellenistic influences. The Apostle Paul visited Galatia during his missionary journeys and established several churches there. The region was significant in early Christianity due to its diverse population and strategic location.

STRONGS NT 1053: Γαλατία

Γαλατία,Γαλατίας,ἡ,Galatia, Gallograecia, a region of Asia Minor, bounded by Paphlagonia, Pontus, Cappadocia, Lycaonia, Phrygia, and Bithynia. It took its name from those Gallic tribes that crossed into Asia Minor, and after roaming about there for a time at length settled down permanently in the above-mentioned region, and intermarried with the Greeks. From on, though subject to the Romans, they were governed by their own chiefs; but (others, 25) their country was formally reduced to a Roman province (cf.Livy 37, 8; 38, 16 and 18;Josephus, Antiquities 16, 6;Strabo 12, 5, 1, p. 567; Flor. 2, 11 (i. e. 1, 27)):Galatians 1:2;1 Corinthians 16:1;2 Timothy 4:10 (TTr marginal readingΓαλλιαν);1 Peter 1:1.
