Commentary on Acts 9:36–412 voices
Tabitha, which is by interpretation Dorcas - She was probably a Hellenist Jew, known among the Hebrews by the Syriac name Tabitha, while the Greeks called her in their own language, Dorcas. They are both words of the same import, and signify a roe or fawn.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
Now there was at Joppa - This was a sea-port town on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about a days journey from Jerusalem. It is supposed to be the same which is called in the Old Testament Japho, which belonged to the tribe of Dan, Jos 19:46. It is at present called Jaffa, and is still a place of considerable note. A certain disciple named Tabitha - This word is more properly Syriac than Hebrew.
