Hinnom
Hinnom (הִנֹּם) is a proper noun denoting a specific person, the eponymous ancestor of the 'Valley of Hinnom' (גֵּיא בֶן־הִנֹּם, gei ben-Hinnom), a geographical feature situated just south and southwest of ancient Jerusalem. The word itself refers primarily to this individual and, by extension, is the basis for the valley's designation in biblical texts. In later periods, the name is closely associated with the valley, which acquires strong connotations relating to idolatrous practices and, subsequently, eschatological imagery (e.g., 'Gehenna').
