Peter raised a woman from the dead. Her Aramiac name was Tabitha. What was it in Greek?

Dorcas. It meant "deer."

Act 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

This is a trick question, LOL!
Her Aramaic name was "Tsĕbiyah," (Hebrew: צביה) which means "gazelle or doe." Her Aramaic name transliterated into Koine Greek is Tabitha ("Ταβιθά"), which ALSO means female doe.
"Dorcas" ("Δορκάς") means a WILD goat or gazelle. What Luke was telling us is that her name, Tabitha, suggests docility; but her NICKNAME (Dorcas) suggests that she was, in fact, spirited.

Jon is closet as Dorcas means; a Gazelle.
It is also an old gaelic Irish name too.
Regards.

Dorkus (or Dorcas). I always had a good laugh at that one in Sunday School.
