Zichri -- a proper name borne by multiple individuals across the Hebrew Bible
Zichri (zikhri, perhaps meaning 'my remembrance') is a proper name borne by several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, including a Levite son of Izhar (Exod 6:21), various Benjaminite clansmen (1 Chr 8:19, 23, 27), a Levite ancestor (1 Chr 9:15), an Ephraimite warrior who slew members of Ahaz's court (2 Chr 28:7), and others listed in postexilic genealogies (Neh 11:9; 12:17). Despite the multiplicity of bearers, the name itself functions as a single lexical item. All target languages preserve it by transliteration: English Zichri, Spanish Zicri, French Zicri, German Sichri.

1. Zikhri — The proper name Zichri (zikhri), borne by at least nine distinct individuals across Exodus, Chronicles, and Nehemiah, including Levites, Benjaminites, and an Ephraimite warrior. The name likely derives from zakhar ('to remember'), suggesting 'my remembrance' or 'Yah has remembered.' Despite multiple referents, the name is a single lexical unit. Uniform transliteration across all target languages confirms its irreducible proper-noun character. 12×
