Theudas = "God-given"

 1) the name of an insurgent mentioned in Gamaliel's speech before the
    Jewish council, \\#Ac 5:35-39\\, at the time of the arraignment of
    the apostles. He appeared, according to Luke's account, at the
    head of about four hundred men. He was probably one of the
    insurrectionary chiefs or fanatics by whom the land was overrun in
    the last year of Herod's reign. Josephus speaks of a Theudas who
    played a similar part at the time of Claudius, about A.D. 44; but
    the Theudas mentioned by Luke must be a different person from the
    one spoken of by Josephus.
