Syrophoenician:
occurs in Mar 7:26 as the national name of a woman called "a Canaanitish woman" in Mat 15:22, i.e., not a Jewess but a descendant of the early inhabitants of the coastland of Phoenicia. The word probably denoted a Syrian residing in Phoenicia proper. There is a tradition that the woman's name was Justa and her daughter Bernice (Clementine Homilies, ii:19; iii:73). In Act 21:2, 3, the two parts of the term are used interchangeably.
