Trofim is the Russian form of Trophimus.Trofim derives from the Greek name Trophimos (Τρόφιμος), which is built from the Greek word τροφή (trophē), meaning "nourishment" or "food." In the biblical tradition, Trophimus appears in the New Testament (notably Acts 20:4 and Acts 21:29) as a companion of the Apostle Peter & Paul at Troas—though historically he is associated with Paul’s missionary journeys. [source] Religious SignificanceBecause of this New Testament figure, the name was carried into early Christianity and spread throughout the Eastern church. In Russian onomastics, the name entered through the Orthodox calendar, where Trophimus is celebrated among the saints.

As well, under Eastern ritual the name appears with festivals on mostly old saints—e.g., Trophimus martyr also includes a scene under Diocletian co-martyrs time.VariantsRelated to this name within Slavic and learning cycles remain valid cognate–such as Trokhym in Ukraine (a Ukrainian translife; not official).
