Ethnan (personal name, descendant of Judah)
This personal name appears in Judah's tribal genealogy, part of the extensive family records preserved in Chronicles. The name may be confused in some textual traditions with the common noun for harlot's hire due to orthographic similarity, though context clearly indicates a proper name. Such genealogies maintained tribal identity and land inheritance claims.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name appearing in 1 Chronicles 4:7 within Judah's genealogical records. The similarity to the noun meaning "harlot's hire" is purely coincidental, as context firmly establishes this as a proper personal name. Cross-linguistic evidence shows transliteration preserving the name, with brackets in some editions indicating textual or orthographic uncertainties in manuscript traditions. 1×
