וּ/לְ/אַחְאָ֛ב
𐤅/𐤋/𐤀𐤇𐤀𐤁
Acheav
to Ahab
A proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably referring to Ahab, king of the northern kingdom of Israel (son of Omri), and to a later figure in Babylon. The name likely means 'the (divine/brotherly) kinship of the father' or 'my father is a brother,' though precise nuance is debated. The semantic range belongs to personal name usage, not a noun with lexical senses.
