Μαάθ G3092
Maath, ancestor of Jesus in Luke's genealogy
Maath appears only in Luke's genealogy of Jesus, positioned between Mattathias and Naggai in the post-exilic lineage. Like many names in this section, no additional historical information survives beyond the genealogical record. The name may derive from Hebrew roots, though its etymology and historical identification remain uncertain.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Occurring once in Luke 3:26, Maath represents one link in the ascending genealogy tracing Jesus back through post-exilic Judaism to David and ultimately Adam. The multilingual evidence uniformly treats this as a transliterated personal name, with consistent rendering across languages reflecting the name's obscurity in historical records beyond this genealogical context. 1×
