# Jekamiah (H3359): A Rare Biblical Name Jekamiah appears only once in the biblical text, making it an extremely limited data point for lexical analysis. As a proper noun rather than a common word with semantic range, it functions as a personal name rather than a term with variable meanings or applications across different contexts. The name follows the Hebrew pattern of theophoric compounds—names incorporating divine elements—suggesting it carried significance as a personal identifier in ancient Israel. However, with a single occurrence and no comparative usage data within the biblical corpus, we cannot determine its functional range, cultural context, or how frequently it was used in everyday speech versus formal genealogical records. The name's appearance does not allow us to assess whether it held particular prestige, regional associations, or theological importance beyond its basic function as a designation for an individual. Without additional occurrences or contextual information in the provided lexicon data, Jekamiah remains a name of minimal analytical significance for understanding Hebrew vocabulary, linguistic patterns, or biblical themes. It serves primarily as evidence that this name existed within the biblical tradition, rather than as a window into broader linguistic or cultural meaning.
