What does philadaphia mean in greek?

Philadelphia doesn't literally mean anything in Greek in the sense of a direct translation of existing words. It's a *combination* of Greek words chosen to create a name with a specific meaning:

* Φίλος (phílos): meaning "friend" or "lover"

* ἀδελφός (adelphos): meaning "brother"

Therefore, Philadelphia means "brotherly love" or "city of brotherly love."
