With‑Me (masculine proper name)

Rootאת (ʾ-t)
Core Meaningswith, nearness, accompaniment, proximity
Semantic RangePersonal name meaning "with me," conveying the idea of nearness, companionship, or accompaniment; used of a Gittite loyal to David and of other Israelites.
Conceptual SignificanceThe name evokes the theme of loyal presence or faithful accompaniment. In narratives (notably of Ittai the Gittite), it underscores covenantal loyalty and steadfast companionship, reflecting the relational depth implied in the root "with."
Morphological NotesHebrew proper noun (HNp), masculine singular personal name; form likely built from the prepositional base אֵת ("with") with a 1st person singular pronominal sense ("with me") fossilized into a name.
Rendering RationaleThe name אִתַּי derives from the preposition/root את meaning "with" or "near." Rendering it as "With‑Me" preserves the relational sense of accompaniment embedded in the root. As a Hebrew proper noun (HNp) referring to a male individual, it is represented as a masculine singular personal name.
