The HOLY FAMILY 2 ROYAL FAMILY web site has: The "kindred" of Jesus, who took the surname "Kyriakon", meaning, "the Lord's House", and their male-line descendants, were honored in very high degree both by Christians and by various Jewish interest groups alike, as heirs of ancient Jewish royalty, or as earthly representatives of "Christ", the eternal king of the universe. The descendants of The Holy Family were called the "Desposyni"/"Desposynoi", meaning, "The Master's Kin". Their claims to be the successors of "another king", one, Jesus, other than Caesar (Acts 17:7), made them rivals of the Roman emperors, and, as such the emperors Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian, carried out proceedings against the "Desposyn[o]i" [descendants of Christianity's "Holy Family"]. Their emblem, or coats-of-arms, varied from a depiction of the "madonna and child", to a depiction of the "paschal lamb" crucified on a cross, to a depiction of "The Holy Grail" painted on a round shield with the supporters of a lion, representing "Judah", and a unicorn representing the "Desposyni"; and its crest was the six-pointed "Star of David" inside the circle of the depiction of the sun shining at its splendor. ... "The Way" was what Christianity was originally called by Christians; and Christians themselves were originally called "Nazarenes" before they were first called "Christians" at Antioch, which was originally a nickname, according to history, out of derision for those that followed "The Way". ...

The source of the above information comes
from the CHRISTIANITY: THE CHURCH & THE DESPOSYNI web site
(?by the same author?). This more comprehensive
discussion (with many references to sources) cites both Kyriakon (The Lord's House) and Kyriakos (presumably, member of the Lord's
House) within the argument that the male descendents of the brothers
of Jesus represented by those appellations are among the Desposyni (Master's Kin), another appellation, who organized
themselves to continue the legacy of Jesus Christ as leaders of both
religious and secular organizations of ancient times. The leaders
opposed to them, both religious and secular, did what they could to
withstand their competition - mostly, apparently, by removing them and
their descendents from the face of the earth through persecutions,
inquisitions and wars.
