The name "Presbyterian" comes from the Greek word, "presbyter" meaning "elder." The Presbyterian church is organized and ruled by elders who are elected within each congregation. These elders make up the "session," which is the committee that holds the authority and makes decisions for that congregation. Similarly, certain elders are elected as the congregation's representatives, or "presbyters," to the regional ruling body called the Presbytery.
