| Morphological Notes | Proper noun (masculine singular); noun form built on the עבד root with -וֹן ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root עבד (“to serve”), and the -וֹן (-ōn) nominal pattern forms a substantive, here preserved as “Servant-one” to reflect its servant-related identity while retaining its proper-name function. |
