Usage: The name "Shima" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, typically referring to a person. It is derived from the root word שָׁמַע, which means "to hear" or "to listen," suggesting a connotation of obedience or attentiveness.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often reflective of personal characteristics, divine encounters, or familial hopes.
