Areopagite       a member of the court of Areopagus (Acts 17:34).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Areopagus       the Latin form of the Greek word rendered "Mars' hill." But it       denotes also the council or court of justice which met in the       open air on the hill. It was a rocky height to the west of the       Acropolis at Athens, on the south-east summit of which the       council was held which was constituted by Solon, and consisted       of nine archons or chief magistrates who were then in office,       and the ex-archons of blameless life.                On this hill of Mars (Gr. Ares) Paul delivered his memorable       address to the "men of Athens" (Acts 17:22-31).

He       dwelt in Mesopotamia, and became, according to the Jewish       historian Josephus, the progenitor of the Chaldeans. The       tendency is to recognize in the word the name of the country       nearest the ancient domain of the Chaldeans. Some regard the       word as an Egypticized form of the territorial name of Ur       Kasdim, or Ur of the Chaldees.
