Yes it does. It was the name of Israel's first king and it's a Hebrew name in which the apostle's name was ''Paul''. It's pronounced ''Sahl'' and it's definition means ''prayed for''. It's of Hebrew origin and is used s a Biblical name, as well as ''Anglicized Hebrew'' and also ''Biblical Latin''. ''Saint Saul'' was the first name given to ''Saint Paul'' before he converted his religion over to Christianity, ( christians have always known him by ''Saint Paul'') and is derived into ''Paul'' by the Americans.

No, Saul and Paul are different names that refer to the same person in The Bible. Saul was his Hebrew name, while Paul was his Roman name. After his conversion to Christianity, he began using the name Paul.

Who was the missionary also called Saul?

AnswerThe apostle Paul never referred to himself as Saul and never suggests that he went on the "first missionary journey" to Cyprus, but Acts of the Apostles gives him that name until the first missionary journey to Cyprus, where he obtained the new name, Paul.If Acts is correct, then Saul and Paul are the same person.

The Bible doesn't say who it was traveling on the road to Emmaus:Luk 24:13 Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.Maybe you mean this: Saul later called Paul was traveling to Damascus with letters from the high priest in Jerusalem. Saul was looking for looking for Christians, who he was going to take back to Jerusalem to the Jewish council.On the road to Damascus a white light shone around Saul and he fell to the ground and a voice said to him "Saul why do you persecute me?"You can read what happened in Acts chapter 9
