Shecaniah/Shekanyahu — a proper name borne by priests, Levites, and laymen in post-exilic Israel
Shecaniah (meaning 'the LORD has taken up his dwelling') is a theophoric name borne by multiple individuals in the post-exilic period. The most prominent is a descendant of Jehoiachin listed in the royal genealogy of 1 Chronicles 3:21-22, who may also be the Shecaniah of Ezra 8:3, 5. Another Shecaniah urged Ezra to put away foreign wives (Ezra 10:2), and the name appears among priestly and Levitical figures in Nehemiah and Chronicles. The longer form Shekanyahu occurs in 1 Chronicles 24:11 and 2 Chronicles 31:15.
