1. Zerubbabel (personal name) — A Hebrew proper name (זְרֻבָּבֶל) meaning 'offspring/seed of Babylon', referring to the post-exilic governor of Judah who led the return from Babylonian captivity and oversaw the rebuilding of the Second Temple (Ezra 2:2; 3:2,8; Hag 1:1,12,14; 2:2,4,21,23; Zech 4:6-10). Multilingual renderings are consistent: eng 'Zerubbabel', spa 'Zorobabel', hin 'ज़रुब्बाबेल', arb 'زَرُبَّابِل', kor '스룹바벨', swa 'Zerubabeli'. The two clusters differ only in minor POS tagging (ms vs fs classification artifacts) and conjunction prefixing, not in referent or meaning. 21×
