Azgad
Azgad (עַזְגָּד) is a personal and clan name occurring in Biblical texts, referring to a specific Israelite ancestor and by extension, members of his descendant group. It does not function as a common noun but as a proper noun designating a clan or family that participated in the return from the Babylonian exile. The lexical meaning is derived from its elements—potentially 'strong/valiant' (עַז) and 'fortune/luck' (גָּד)—but as a name, it signifies the bearer or the collective group associated with this founder.
