# Jonathan (יוֹנָתָן) Based on the lexical data provided, יוֹנָתָן (Jonathan) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing only once in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word with variable meanings, it functions as a fixed designation for a specific individual rather than a term with semantic range or multiple applications. The single occurrence of this particular lemma form limits what can be determined about its usage patterns or significance from the lexical evidence alone. Proper nouns typically serve an identificatory function in biblical texts, naming particular persons rather than describing qualities or actions. Without additional context about which occurrence this represents or what role the named individual plays in that passage, the lexical data alone cannot establish broader thematic or theological importance. The rarity of this specific lemma form in the biblical corpus—appearing just once—distinguishes it from other Hebrew personal names that recur frequently throughout scripture. This single attestation means the name appears in a limited textual context, though this does not necessarily reflect the historical or narrative significance of the person it identifies.
