The benefactor is named, and his name is Theophilus, Luke actually dedicates his second book, "Acts of the Apostoles" to him.

Some would argue that because the name Theophilus means "friend of God" that it's more likely that it's a pseudonym.

We can't know that that's the case, but I can see the argument.

Yeah you're correct. I mistakenly said unnamed due to the theory some people have that Theophilus was not a real person but is some kind of metaphor/personification of the church.
