Shekhem (personal)—an individual from the Manassite clan bearing the city's name
This personal name identifies an individual from Manasseh's lineage, distinct from the more famous city of Shechem though bearing the same name. Numbers 26:31 and Joshua 17:2 list him among Manasseh's descendants in genealogical and land-inheritance contexts. First Chronicles 7:19 includes him in Manasseh's genealogy. The name's connection to the city suggests possible eponymous relationship, where clan and location shared nomenclature.
