Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Onam, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Onam appears in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. It is used as a personal name for a descendant of Seir the Horite and also for a member of the tribe of Judah.

Context: • Onam is mentioned in the genealogies of the Old Testament. He is identified as a descendant of Seir the Horite, a notable figure in the region of Edom. Specifically, Onam is listed as a son of Shobal, who was one of the chiefs of the Horites (Genesis 36:23; 1 Chronicles 1:40).
• Additionally, Onam is noted as a member of the tribe of Judah, being a son of Jerahmeel, who was the firstborn of Hezron (1 Chronicles 2:26, 28). This places Onam within the broader context of the genealogical records that trace the lineage of the tribes of Israel.
• The name Onam, meaning "vigorous" or "strong," reflects the characteristics often valued in the patriarchal narratives, where strength and vigor were seen as desirable traits for leaders and warriors.
