Herodion

Herodion was a Jewish Christian in Rome whom Paul greets as 'my kinsman' in Romans 16:11, indicating that he was a fellow Jew and possibly a relative of the apostle. His name reflects the Herodian dynasty, suggesting he may have been a freedman or client of the royal household. Paul's affectionate acknowledgment places Herodion among the close associates of the apostolic mission in the capital of the empire.
