Anthropotokos, roughly translated, means "mother of man," (from Greek) and was ascribed to Mary the Mother of Jesus by certain Christians around the time of the Nestorian debates. It is important to note that Cyril (representing the orthodox viewpoint) and Nestorius both denied the use of this word. For more information on the Nestorian heresy, see below.
