Ludia is the personal name of a woman introduced as listening to Paul and later associated with a house visited by the brothers.

The attested use is a personal name: Acts 16:14 introduces a woman listening to Paul, and Acts 16:40 places the same name in the house-setting after the prison departure.

   In Acts 16:14, the nominative singular feminine form identifies the woman whom the APB renders as “A woman named Lydia,” listening as Paul spoke. In Acts 16:40, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the house-setting that the APB renders “they went to Lydia's house.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly in Acts 16:14 as “Lydia” and in Acts 16:40 within “Lydia's house.” These renderings show the verse contexts rather than a separate lexical distinction.
