The Hebrew word שִׁמְעָתִים (Shim'athite) is recorded as a proper name, specifically referring to a person (H8101, šim'āṯîm). This single occurrence of this name in the Bible suggests it was used as an identifier for an individual. Given its proper name function, שִׁמְעָתִים's range of usage is quite restricted. The name itself is likely of Semitic origin, but without additional context, its meaning is difficult to discern.
