Strong's Lexicon Hadadrimmon: Hadadrimmon Original Word: הֲדַדְרִמּוֹן Word Origin: Derived from two elements: "Hadad," a name associated with a storm and fertility god in ancient Near Eastern cultures, and "Rimmon," which can refer to a deity or a place. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hadadrimmon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. Usage: Hadadrimmon is a compound name that appears in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in Zechariah 12:11. It is often understood to refer to a location or possibly a deity. The name itself suggests a connection to ancient Semitic religious practices, combining elements associated with storm and fertility deities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, Hadad was a prominent storm god worshiped in various forms across regions such as Syria and Mesopotamia. Rimmon, similarly, was a deity associated with storms and rain. The combination of these names in Hadadrimmon may indicate a syncretism of religious practices or a specific location where such worship occurred. The reference in Zechariah is often linked to a place of mourning, possibly connected to the death of a significant figure, such as King Josiah, who was mourned at Megiddo.
