Strong's Lexicon Peninnah: Peninnah Original Word: פְנִנָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּנִין (panin), meaning "coral" or "pearl." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Peninnah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Peninnah is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "coral" or "pearl." It is used to refer to one of the wives of Elkanah, the father of the prophet Samuel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of ancient Israel, polygamy was practiced, especially among those who could afford it. Peninnah was one of Elkanah's two wives, the other being Hannah. Peninnah had children, while Hannah was initially barren, which was a significant social stigma at the time. This dynamic created tension and rivalry between the two women, as having children was considered a blessing and a sign of favor from God.
