Jerahmeel — 'may God have compassion'; a prominent Judahite clan name, also borne by a Levite and a royal official.
Jerahmeel (Yerachme'el) is a theophoric name meaning 'may El have compassion,' combining the root for mercy (racham) with the divine name El. The most prominent bearer heads a major Judahite clan extensively documented in 1 Chronicles 2:9-42, whose descendants became the Jerahmeelites settled in the Negev (cf. 1 Sam 27:10; 30:29). A second Jerahmeel is a Levite in 1 Chronicles 24:29, and a third is a royal official sent by King Jehoiakim to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch (Jer 36:26). The name's meaning — a prayer for divine mercy — resonates across all its bearers.

1. Yerachme'el — The proper name Jerahmeel/Yerachme'el, meaning 'may God have compassion,' borne by three OT figures: (1) a prominent ancestor of a Judahite clan (1 Chr 2:9, 25-42), (2) a Levite (1 Chr 24:29), and (3) a royal official under Jehoiakim (Jer 36:26). Spanish 'Yerajmeel' and German 'Jerachmeel' preserve the guttural consonants, while French 'Jerachmeël' uses a diaeresis to separate the final vowels. 8×
