# Shammua (H8051I): A Biblical Name Shammua (שַׁמּוּעַ) appears only once in the biblical text, making it an exceedingly rare proper name in Hebrew Scripture. As a name occurring in just a single passage, it provides limited opportunity to establish patterns of usage or contextual meaning beyond its singular occurrence. The designation "Shammua" functions purely as a personal name rather than as a common noun with semantic range or multiple applications. Because it appears only once, no variation in usage, synonyms, or related contexts exist within the biblical corpus to illuminate its significance or the reasons it may have been chosen for its bearer. The name's meaning and cultural context remain restricted to whatever information the single biblical passage containing it provides. This rarity distinguishes Shammua from most other biblical names that appear multiple times across different texts and contexts. For readers seeking to understand this name's theological or historical importance, examination of the specific narrative in which it appears would be necessary, as the lexical data alone cannot support broader conclusions about the name's significance within biblical tradition.
