The Canaanite

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

The Canaanite [1]

Used to designate Simon Zelotes, one of the twelve apostles; this name Κανανίτης, Canaanite, is not the same as that of an inhabitant of Canaan, which in the Lxx is Καναναῖος. That respecting Simon occurs in  Matthew 10:4;  Mark 3:18; by the other two Evangelists he is styled 'Zelotes,' and Κανανίτης (in some copies Καναναῖος) is held to be from the Aramaic qana , 'to be zealous:' cf.  Numbers 25:11,13 .
