Abinoam, a personal name meaning 'my father is delight'; father of the judge Barak.
A Hebrew personal name composed of 'av' (father) and 'no'am' (delight, pleasantness), yielding the theophoric meaning 'my father is delight' or 'the [divine] Father is gracious.' Abinoam is known solely as the father of Barak, the military commander whom Deborah the prophetess summoned to lead Israel against Sisera's Canaanite forces. The name appears four times in Judges 4-5, always in the patronymic phrase 'Barak son of Abinoam,' anchoring Barak's identity in his family lineage.

1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name identifying the father of Barak, the Israelite commander in the war against Sisera. All four occurrences appear in Judges 4-5: Judg 4:6 and 4:12 in the prose narrative, and Judg 5:1 and 5:12 in the Song of Deborah. The name is consistently transliterated across languages — Spanish, French, German, and English all render it 'Avinoam' or 'Abinoam' — preserving its Hebrew etymological meaning 'my father is delight.' The patronymic formula 'Barak ben Abinoam' serves to distinguish this Barak from other biblical figures. 4×
