# Meshullam: A Biblical Proper Name Based on the lexical data provided, Meshullam (מְשׁוּלָּם) is a proper noun—specifically a personal name—that appears only once in the biblical text. As a hapax legomenon (a word occurring just one time), it offers limited basis for understanding its usage patterns or significance within Scripture. The name itself, though presented here without etymological breakdown, functioned as an identifier for an individual in biblical narrative or genealogy. The single occurrence means we cannot determine from frequency patterns whether this person held a prominent role or appears in a marginal context, nor can we observe how the name was used across different biblical periods or traditions. Without additional contextual information beyond this lexical entry—such as the specific biblical passage where it appears, the person's genealogy, or their role in the narrative—we cannot establish broader significance or theological importance. The name remains, on the basis of the data provided, simply a documented proper noun in the Hebrew Bible with a solitary attestation.
