SIBI-P1 H5804-01

Strong-One (feminine place-name)

Rootעזז (ʿ-z-z)
Core Meaningsstrength, might, power, firmness, boldness
Semantic RangeA major Philistine city on the southern coastal plain of Canaan; by derivation, conveys the idea of strength or fortified might.
Conceptual SignificanceGaza was one of the five principal cities of the Philistines and often appears as a symbol of entrenched strength and opposition to Israel (e.g., in the narratives of Samson). Its name reflects the notion of fortified power embedded in the root עזז.
Morphological NotesProper noun, feminine singular absolute; derived from the adjective עַז ("strong") from the root עזז. Used as the name of a Philistine city.
Rendering RationaleThe name עַזָּה (ʻAzzâh) derives from the root עזז, meaning "to be strong" or "mighty." It is a feminine singular proper noun (HNp), so the rendering "Strong-One" preserves the root sense of strength while indicating its feminine grammatical form as a place-name.
