Bunah (personal name, 'intelligence' or 'understanding')
A personal name meaning "intelligence" or "understanding," belonging to a man from the tribe of Judah mentioned in Chronicles' genealogies. The name appears in Palmyrene inscriptions as well, showing its broader Semitic usage. Like many Hebrew names, it expresses a desired quality or divine gift—in this case intellectual capacity or insight. The name occurs only once, preserved in the genealogical records of Judah's descendants.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Identifies a man of Judah in 1 Chronicles 2:25, listed in the genealogical records of the tribe. The name's meaning ("intelligence") reflects the Israelite practice of giving children names expressing virtues or blessings. The Palmyrene cognate confirms this was a recognized name in the broader Aramaic-speaking world. The single occurrence makes it purely a genealogical identifier without narrative context. 1×
