Etymology

From Middle English Macedonyan, from Latin Macedoniānus, from Macedonius + -ānus, after the Greek bishop Macedonius I of Constantinople.

Meanings

1. (historical) A member of an anti–Nicene Creed sect founded by the Greek bishop Macedonius I of Constantinople, which flourished in the regions adjacent to the Hellespont during the latter half of the fourth, and the beginning of the fifth centuries.
   • I do therfoꝛe ſo diligently admoniſh you of this thing, becauſe it is daungerous leſt among ſo many errours, and in ſo great varietie and confuſion of ſectes, there might ſtep vp ſome Arrians, Eunomians, Macedonians, and ſuch other heretikes, that might doe harme to the Churches with their ſubteltie. 1575, Martin Luther, translated by “certaine godly learned men”, A Commentarie of M. Doctor Martin Luther vpon the Epistle of S. Paul to the Galathians, […], London: […] Thomas Vautroullier […], folio 16, recto:
   • With these data at our disposal we are in a position to sketch the teaching of the Macedonians to a great extent from their own writings,[…]. 3. Doctrine of the Macedonians in the same period.—The leading doctrine of the Macedonians is found in the thesis characterized by their opponents as ‘Pneumatomachian,’ viz. that the Holy Spirit is not to be designated Θεός (frag. 32, lines 1–8, Dial. c. Maced. i. 1 [p. 1292 A]; frag. 29, Did. de Trin. iii. xxxvi. [p. 965 B]). 1915, Friedrich Loofs, “Macedonianism”, in James Hastings, John A[lexander] Selbie, Louis H[erbert] Gray, editors, Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics, volume VIII (Life and Death–Mulla), Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, […]; New York, N.Y.: Charles Scribner’s Sons, […], page 225, column 2:
   • At least as Auxentius reports him in the covering letter which precedes Ulfila’s confession, he is as vehement in his opposition to what he sees as heretical alternatives to his own form of belief as most other participants in the controversies of the time. Heretics are not Christians but antichrists. Homoousians, Homoiousians, and Macedonians are all included in this blanket condemnation. 1996, Maurice Wiles, “[The End of Arianism] Gothic Christianity”, in Archetypal Heresy: Arianism through the Centuries, Oxford, Oxon: Clarendon Press, →ISBN, page 43:
