Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Guni in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Guni is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a member of the tribe of Naphtali. The name Guni is understood to mean "protected" or "defended," reflecting a possible characteristic or hope for the individual or family line. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of birth, a parent's hope for the child, or a characteristic of the family. The tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was known for its warriors and played a role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. The mention of Guni as a descendant of Naphtali situates him within this broader narrative of Israel's history. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from an unused word Definition two Isr.
