Bukki: a proper name borne by a Danite chief and a descendant of Aaron in the priestly line.
Bukki is a personal name appearing in two distinct genealogical contexts. First, he is a Danite chief appointed to help divide the land of Canaan among the tribes (Num 34:22). Second, a different Bukki appears in the priestly lineage descending from Aaron through Eleazar and Phinehas (1 Chr 6:5, 51; Ezra 7:4), forming a link in the chain of high-priestly succession. The name's etymology is debated but may relate to a shortened theophoric form. All major translations preserve the name with minimal variation: Spanish 'Buqui,' French and German 'Bukki.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name designating (a) a leader of the tribe of Dan commissioned to oversee the apportionment of Canaan (Num 34:22), and (b) a priest in the Aaronic line through Eleazar and Phinehas, ancestor of Ezra (1 Chr 6:5, 51; Ezra 7:4). The dual usage across tribal and priestly genealogies shows the name's currency in different Israelite social strata. Spanish 'Buqui' and French 'Bukki' demonstrate consistent cross-linguistic transliteration. 5×
