Makhir
Machir
Proper name, primarily referring to Makir, a notable individual in the Hebrew Bible, particularly known as the son of Manasseh and ancestor of a distinct clan within the tribe of Manasseh. The name is likely derived from a root meaning 'to sell,' but as a proper noun, it functions as a personal or clan name and does not retain a direct predicative sense related to commerce in biblical usage.
