Ur
אוּר (ʼÛwr) is primarily a proper noun referring to the ancient location 'Ur', most notably the birthplace of Abram (later Abraham) as mentioned in the Genesis narrative. Additionally, the word appears as the personal name of an individual listed among the returning exiles (Neh 3:6). The place name's primary referent is an early city in southern Mesopotamia, while the personal name is rare and unrelated in function to the toponym.
