Eclecte
Eclecte is a proposed proper name for the addressee of 2 John rather than the traditional reading "elect lady" as a metaphor for a church. In these discussions, the name matters because it turns on Greek epistolary formulae, scribal omission, and the possibility that 2 John was written to a specific woman who exercised real authority in an early Christian setting.
