Gera
and Gera
Gera (proper noun): a personal name borne by several individuals in Israelite genealogies, possibly meaning 'a grain' or 'kernel' (botanical sense). The name itself does not transparently carry a specific lexical sense beyond use as a name, but may be associated with the idea of 'grain' or 'seed' if connected with the root גֵּרָה (gērāh, 'grain, kernel, bean').
