Κανδάκης (Candace): a dynastic title used for the queens or queen mothers of the Kingdom of Kush (Nubia). Not a personal name, but a formal designation equivalent to “queen” or “regent.” Greek sources (e.g., Acts 8:27) transliterated the local Nubian/Meroitic title. The term signifies a ruling queen or queen mother with political authority; English translations often render it “Ethiopian queen” as a geographical reference rather than a personal name.
