# Pekahiah: A Biblical Proper Name Pekahiah (פְּקַחְיָה) is a Hebrew proper name appearing three times in the biblical text. As a personal name rather than a common noun, it functions as a designation for a specific individual rather than expressing a general meaning or concept. The name itself is a compound form in Hebrew, though the lexicon data provided does not detail its etymological components or their individual significance. The limited frequency of this name—appearing only three times in Scripture—suggests it refers to a single historical or traditional figure whose story was recorded in discrete biblical passages. Without additional contextual information from the lexicon data, the precise identity, role, or historical period of this person cannot be determined from the entry alone. The name's presence in the biblical record indicates it held sufficient importance to warrant multiple textual references, though the nature of that importance remains outside the scope of the lexical data provided.
