[Thessalonian]

It's the other way round actually. The part in the bible is named after my city's name. Thessalonian is the inhabitant of THESSALONIKI, Greece's second largest city and regional capital of Greek Macedonia, home to Aristotle and Alexander the Great. (no relation with the so-called "republic of Macedonia").

Thessaloniki is where St. Paul wrote on of his epistles "to Thessalonians".
