United-One
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | oneness, unity, being one, joining together |
| Semantic Range | unity, oneness, joined together, allied; as a personal name, possibly expressing hoped-for solidarity or covenant unity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ehud is notably the Benjaminite deliverer in Judges 3 who brings relief to Israel. The underlying sense of "unity" may subtly reflect themes of covenant cohesion and divinely raised leadership that reunites and delivers the people. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Personal name borne by Israelite men; no pronominal suffix or verbal stem involved. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אֵהוּד (ʼÊhûd) is traditionally connected to the root אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d), meaning "to be one" or "to unite." Rendering it as "United-One" preserves this core sense of unity while reflecting its use as a masculine singular proper noun (HNp). |
