Aeon
The Latin word aeon, also spelled eon or æon, means "age," "forever," or "for eternity". It is derived from the koine Greek word αίων (aion), which at one point meant "age," "a period of existence" or "life". It has a similar meaning to the Sanskrit word kalpa. The Greek word 'aion' is used, for example, in the "koine Greek" Christian scriptures. And while Christian theologians and translators might agree to support an English definition of "age", as inherited by Latin from Greek; some contend that "aion" in the Greek scriptures rarely, if ever, suggested the idea of "forever" or "for eternity" as made popular by the doctrine of an "eternal" hell.
