# Jonathan (יוֹנָתָן) Based on the lexical data provided, Jonathan (יוֹנָתָן) is a Hebrew proper noun that appears exactly once in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word, it functions as a personal identifier rather than carrying semantic meaning in the traditional sense. The name itself is a designation for a specific individual within the biblical narrative. The single occurrence in the biblical corpus limits our ability to trace patterns of usage or development of meaning across different contexts. What can be established from the lexical entry alone is that this was a recognized personal name in ancient Hebrew, used to identify a particular figure within the textual tradition. Without additional contextual information about which passage contains this occurrence, we cannot determine the narrative role or significance of this particular Jonathan relative to other biblical figures who bore the same name.
