Gibea - son of Caleb, personal name possibly derived from 'hill' or geographic associations
This personal name appears in Caleb's genealogy, possibly derived from גִּבְעָה (hill), suggesting either geographic origins or characteristics.

The Calebite clan genealogies in Chronicles preserve names that often connect to Judean geography, reflecting the clan's territorial associations in the Hebron region and the Negev.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 1 Chronicles 2:49 records that Caleb's concubine Maacah 'bore... Gibea' along with other sons. This appears in the extensive Calebite genealogy documenting clan structure. All translations preserve the name (Giv'a, Guibea), though French and German bracket the Hebrew. The name's similarity to the place name Gibeah may indicate geographic family connections in Judah's tribal territory. 1×
