SIBI-P1 H7715-02
Shadrakh (masculine personal name)
| Root | שדרך (š-d-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | proper name; likely from Akkadian Šudur-Aku, "command of Aku (the moon-god)" |
| Semantic Range | Personal name assigned in Babylon; designation of one of the Judean exiles (Hananiah) in the court of Nebuchadnezzar. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name represents the imposition of Babylonian identity upon a Judean exile, replacing his Hebrew name (Hananiah, "Yahweh is gracious") with a name invoking a Mesopotamian deity, highlighting themes of exile, cultural pressure, and covenantal faithfulness under foreign rule. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; Aramaic form used in the book of Daniel; refers to one individual (Daniel’s companion). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp/ANp), referring to a specific male individual. As a foreign (Akkadian) name preserved in Aramaic/Hebrew form, it is best rendered by transliteration, while noting its likely meaning, "command of Aku," to reflect its original semantic background. |
