Cedar-Strong One
| Root | ארן (ʾ-r-n) |
| Core Meanings | cedar, firmness, strength, sturdiness |
| Semantic Range | Personal name; possibly connoting strength or sturdiness associated with cedar; variant of Araunah. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ornan is the Jebusite whose threshing floor David purchases, which becomes the site of the altar and later the Temple in Jerusalem. His name is thus connected with the divinely chosen מקום (place) of sacrifice and enduring worship in Israel’s history. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (Hebrew Proper Noun, HNp). Refers to a specific male individual, a Jebusite landowner in the time of David. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אׇרְנָן (ʾOrnân) is likely derived from אֹרֶן ("cedar"), a tree symbolizing strength and durability. Rendering it as "Cedar-Strong One" preserves the probable root sense of firmness and strength while reflecting its morphology as a masculine singular proper noun (HNp). |
