2 definitions found From U.S. Gazetteer (1990) [gazetteer]: Lydia, LA (CDP, FIPS 46755) Location: 29.92449 N, 91.78238 W Population (1990): 1136 (404 housing units) Area: 4.4 sq km (land), 0.0 sq km (water) From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Lydia (1.) Ezek. 30:5 (Heb. Lud), a province in the west of Asia Minor, which derived its name from the fourth son of Shem (Gen. 10:22). It was bounded on the east by the greater Phrygia, and on the west by Ionia and the AEgean Sea. (2.) A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte. The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul and his companions. (See {THYATIRA}.)
