From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:



  Lydia
     (1.) Ezek. 30:5 (Heb. Lud), a province in the west of Asia
     Minor, which derived its name from the fourth son of Shem (Gen.
     10:22). It was bounded on the east by the greater Phrygia, and
     on the west by Ionia and the AEgean Sea.
     
       (2.) A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in
     Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte.
     The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips
     of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who
     embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of
     considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul
     and his companions. (See {THYATIRA}.)
