# Shecaniah: A Hebrew Personal Name Shecaniah (שְׁכַנְיָהוּ) is a Hebrew personal name that appears once in the biblical text. The name combines elements typical of Hebrew theophoric naming conventions—names constructed to include a divine reference—though the lexicon data provided does not specify the name's etymological components or their individual meanings. With only a single occurrence in the Bible, this name has minimal distribution and cannot be analyzed for patterns of usage across different contexts or time periods. The single attestation limits what can be determined about the name's significance within biblical tradition. To understand the historical or religious importance of this particular individual named Shecaniah, one would need to examine the specific biblical passage where the name appears, but such contextual information falls outside the scope of the lexicon data provided here.
