Historical Usage
According to the apocryphal Acts of John, Emanion is a name given to John the Apostle during his visit to the region of Armenia. In this account, John is said to have met a young man named Emanion, who was a student of a heretical teacher. John converted Emanion to Christianity and baptized him, after which he was given the name 'Emanion' (meaning 'receiver of the law') in honor of his new faith. This event is believed to have occurred around AD 65.

In the 14th century, a medieval Latin manuscript known as the 'Legenda Aurea' or 'Golden Legend' includes a reference to a martyr named Emanion. According to this text, Emanion was a soldier in the Roman army during the reign of Emperor Trajan. When Emanion was ordered to persecute Christians, he refused and instead converted to Christianity. He was then put to death for his faith, and is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. This event is believed to have occurred around AD 112.
