From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. derivatives of Greek τρυφή ‘daintiness’, ‘delicacy’.Tryphena and Tryphosa are the names of women mentioned by St Paul in Rom xvi. 12, and were used a good deal as christian names in the late 16th and 17 th C.
Not a very uncommon female name. St. Peter’s Church, Worcester contains epitaphs of Mrs. Tryphosa Sanders, daughter of Mrs. Tryphena Hester (Conf. N. Q. 4th S. viii. 64). Mr. A. B. Grosart says of these two names, “Their source is in the Epistle to the Romans xvi. 12: ‘Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.’ They were not at all unusual among the Puritan families of the Commonwealth, nor is the sentiment that fetched names from Holy Scripture one needing defence;” and Kitto says, ‘Tryphena and Tryphosa were female disciples at Rome, who laboured to extend the Gospel and to succour the faithful. Their history is unknown, but from their names they were probably sisters.’ The Greek name Τρυφαινα, may be from τρυφανα, delicate.
Try-fee'-nah, delicate. A pious woman. Rom. xvi. 12.
Meaning: luxurious.
A Greek name, meaning: Lover of pleasure: delicious.
