Shammai — a personal name in the tribe of Judah, borne by three men in the Chronicler's genealogies.
A proper masculine noun naming three distinct individuals in the genealogies of Judah recorded in 1 Chronicles. The first Shammai is the son of Onam and brother of Jada (1 Chr 2:28, 32), the second is the son of Rekem in a Calebite line (1 Chr 2:44-45), and the third appears as a son of Mered in a Judahite sub-clan (1 Chr 4:17). The LXX renders the name variously as Sammai, Sammei, and Sami, while the German gloss 'mein Name' appears to be an etymological reading connecting it to the root 'shem' (name). All occurrences are confined to the Chronicler's tribal records.
