Supported# Hadad: A Hebrew Proper Name Based on the lexical data provided, Hadad (H1908G) is a Hebrew proper noun that appears four times in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word with variable meanings, Hadad functions as a fixed identifier referring to a specific person or entity within the biblical narrative. The limited occurrence of this term—appearing only four times—suggests it refers to a particular individual of some historical or genealogical significance rather than a common concept or repeated type. Without additional context from the lexicon data about which specific Hadad or Hadads are referenced, we can only confirm that the word maintains its function as a proper name throughout its biblical appearances. This entry exemplifies how biblical lexicons document proper nouns alongside common vocabulary, preserving names that identify key figures or places within the scriptural record, even when such terms appear infrequently compared to more widely-used words.
