Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Baalah, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and culture. However, the concept of "lord" or "owner" can be related to Greek words like κύριος (kyrios), meaning "lord."

Usage: Baalah is a name used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a location. It is associated with a city or region and is often linked to places of significance in the tribal allotments of Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the characteristics or the deity associated with a place. Baalah, derived from the root "ba'al," suggests a connection to ownership or lordship, which could imply a place of importance or a site dedicated to a deity. The name reflects the cultural and religious milieu of the time, where local deities were often worshipped, and places were named in their honor.
