Strong's Lexicon Guni: Guni Original Word: גּוּנִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גּוּן (gun), which is not explicitly defined in the Bible but is thought to mean "protected" or "defended." 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 is associated with the idea of protection or defense, which may reflect the characteristics or aspirations of the family or tribe. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of birth, family heritage, or divine attributes. The tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was known for its valor and strategic location in the northern part of the land of Israel. The name Guni, therefore, may reflect the tribe's role or characteristics within the larger narrative of Israel's history.
