and Shimron (Guarded-Place)
| Root | שמר (sh-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | to guard, keep, watch over, preserve, protect |
| Semantic Range | A personal name or place name meaning "place of guarding," "watch-post," or "protected place," depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | Names derived from שמר emphasize themes of protection, vigilance, and divine safeguarding. As a place name, Shimron may evoke the idea of a fortified or watched location; as a personal name, it may reflect the hope or acknowledgment of being guarded or preserved by יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a proper noun (Np), masculine singular. No pronominal suffixes or verbal stems; a toponym or personal name formed from the root שמר with the -וֹן ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שִׁמְרוֹן (Shimron) derives from the root שמר, meaning "to guard" or "to keep." Rendering it as "Guarded-Place" preserves the root sense embedded in the proper name, while "and" reflects the prefixed conjunction וְ. As a proper noun (masculine singular), it retains singular reference. |
