of Shimshon (the Sun-one)

Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,GMSI = noun, genitive, masculine, singular, indeclinable proper name; functioning to show possession or association ("of Shimshon").
Rendering RationaleThe form is genitive masculine singular, so it is rendered "of Shimshon." The parenthetical "the Sun-one" reflects the Hebrew origin (שִׁמְשׁוֹן, from שֶׁמֶשׁ, "sun"), preserving the root meaning and its semantic connection to the sun while maintaining the grammatical case.
