According to Liddell/Scott, it means “The Helper” or “The Comforter”.

Is it in a theological context? If so, the helper/comforter meaning can refer to the Christian Holy Spirit, who is also called the Paraclete in English.

In 1 John 2:1 we see a form of this Greek word (παράκλητον) used to describe advocate. He is our advocate.(Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν δίκαιον·) Jesus Christ the righteous.
