Etam
Proper noun: Etam – the name of multiple locations in biblical texts, most notably a site associated with the tribal territory of Judah and another associated with Solomon’s administrative districts. The primary lexical sense is that of a place name, with unclear direct etymological meaning. The name may possibly relate to the Hebrew root for a predatory bird (such as a hawk) or spring, but this connection is uncertain.

Eytam
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular; place name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a proper place name (masculine singular) and is not used as a common noun. Because its connection to the root meaning "to swoop/pounce" is uncertain and lexicalized as a toponym, it is best rendered by transliteration while preserving its distinct identity. |
