Harhur
A personal name of uncertain derivation, used to designate an individual among the group known as the Nethinim (temple servants) who returned from exile. The root meaning is unclear, but the form Χַרְחוּר participates as a theophoric or descriptive name within genealogical lists. While formally similar to terms for 'burning' or 'inflammation,' the meaning as a personal name is distinct and the semantic connection is not clearly established.

Charchur
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a proper masculine personal name (HNp), the form is best preserved through direct transliteration. Although the root חרחר relates to intense burning or agitation, SILEX notes that the semantic link is uncertain in this name, so the rendering retains the root form without imposing a meaning not clearly established. |
