Usage: The name "Harim" is used in the Bible to refer to several individuals and a priestly family. It is associated with those who returned from the Babylonian exile and were involved in the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. The name itself may imply a sense of being "devoted" or "consecrated." Cultural and Historical Background: The name Harim appears in post-exilic contexts, particularly in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
