Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Echi, the concept of "brother" is represented in Greek by the word ἀδελφός (adelphos), Strong's Greek #80, which is used extensively in the New Testament to denote both literal and spiritual brotherhood. Usage: The name "Echi" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible. It is a personal name, likely signifying a familial or brotherly connection, as suggested by its root meaning "brother." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of familial relationships or characteristics. The root word אָח (ach) is commonly used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a brother, either in a literal familial sense or metaphorically to indicate close kinship or camaraderie.
