1. Jonathan (proper name) — Proper masculine name meaning 'YHWH has given' (יְהוֹנָתָן / יוֹנָתָן). Refers to multiple biblical individuals including Jonathan son of Saul (1 Sam 14-20), Jonathan son of Abiathar (2 Sam 15:27), Jonathan the scribe (Jer 37:15-20), Jonathan in Chronicles genealogies (1 Chr 8:33-34; 9:39-40), Jonathan uncle of David (1 Chr 27:32), Jehonathan the Levite teacher (2 Chr 17:8), and Jonathan in Nehemiah (Neh 12:18). The orthographic alternation between the full form יְהוֹנָתָן and shortened יוֹנָתָן is purely scribal and carries no semantic distinction. Prepositional prefixes (ב, ל, ו) are inflectional, not sense-bearing. 80×
