Strong's Lexicon Achimoth: Achimoth Original Word: אֲחִימוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָח (ach), meaning "brother," and מוֹת (moth), meaning "death." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Achimoth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew name not translated into Greek in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Achimoth is not directly found in the canonical Hebrew Bible. It is a compound name that can be interpreted as "brother of death" or "my brother is death." The name is not commonly used in biblical texts and may appear in apocryphal or pseudepigraphal literature. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or descriptive of a person's character or destiny. The combination of "brother" and "death" in Achimoth could imply a close association with mortality or a familial relationship with someone who has died. Names with similar structures are found in genealogical records, reflecting the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite society.
