Syrophoenician - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Syrophoenician[ 1,,G4949,surophoinikissa / surophunissa ] occurs in Mark 7:26 as the national name of a woman called a Canaanitish woman" in Matthew 15:22, i.e., not a Jewess but a descendant of the early inhabitants of the coastland of Phoenicia. The word probably denoted a Syrian residing in Phoenicia proper. There is a tradition that the woman's name was Justa and her daughter Bernice (Clementine Homilies, 2:19; 3:73). In Acts 21:2-Acts 21:3, the two parts of the term are used interchangeably.
