Chrysostom  - The term Chrysostom is derived from the Greek words Chrysos (Golden) and Stoma (mouth), hence the meaning "golden-mouth". One with a golden-mouth is able to speak words of gold. The great honour of being called Chrysosotom was given to some of the best orators of all time. Famous people bearing this title are 1st-2nd century orator and writer Dio Chrysostom and 4th-5th century orator and Patriarch of Constantinople John Chrysostom.
