מִ/תַּפּ֜וּחַ
𐤌/𐤕𐤐𐤅𐤇
Tapucha
From Tappuah
Tappûwach is a proper noun used for (1) two towns in the southern and northern regions of ancient Israelite territory, and (2) an individual from the lineage of Hebron. Its usage identifies specific locations, notably a town on the border of Ephraim and Manasseh (in the central hill country) and another in the land of Judah (in the Shephelah), as well as a descendant of Hebron mentioned in genealogical records. The name likely conveys a toponymic or personal association with the apple or fruit tree, but in naming contexts it primarily functions as a geographic or genealogical identifier.
