Rootשמע (sh-m-ʿ)
Core Meaningsto hear, to listen, to heed, to obey, to be heard
Semantic Rangehearing, attentive listening, obedience, report, fame (that which is heard), being heard in prayer
Conceptual SignificanceNames derived from שמע often express the conviction that Elohim hears prayer or affliction. As a personal name, it testifies to divine attentiveness—commemorating that a cry was heard or a petition answered within Israel’s covenant relationship with YHWH.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (personal name). The form likely reflects a passive or stative nuance built on the root שמע, functioning as a theophoric-style name implying that someone (often understood as God) has heard.
Rendering RationaleThe name derives from the root שמע (to hear). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered "Heard-One," reflecting a completed state of having been heard, consistent with the passive sense embedded in the name form and preserving its singular masculine identity.
