Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Ginath, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of a "garden" (from which Ginath is derived) can be related to Greek words like παράδεισος (paradeisos), meaning "paradise" or "garden."

Usage: Ginath is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of the father of Tibni, who was a contender for the throne of Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Ginath appears in the context of the divided monarchy period in Israel's history. After the death of King Zimri, the kingdom of Israel was divided between Omri and Tibni, the son of Ginath. This period was marked by political instability and conflict, as different factions vied for control over the northern kingdom. The name Ginath, meaning "garden," may suggest a connection to agriculture or a pastoral lifestyle, which was common in ancient Israelite society.
