Sichon
to Sihon
Sihon — a personal name referring specifically to a king of the Amorites whose territory was east of the Jordan River and north of Moab. As a personal name, its precise meaning is uncertain, but it is potentially derived from a root meaning 'to sweep away, to sweep along,' possibly indicating forcefulness or impetuosity. The name does not have a common noun usage in Biblical Hebrew; it is exclusively attested as a proper name for this specific historical king.
