Strong's Lexicon Achiam: Ahijah Original Word: אֲחִיאָם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָח (ach, meaning "brother") and עַם (am, meaning "people" or "nation"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Achiam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of brotherhood and community is echoed in Greek terms like ἀδελφός (adelphos, meaning "brother"). Usage: The name Achiam means "brother of the people" or "my brother is a kinsman." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying familial or communal connection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of familial ties, social status, or divine attributes. The name Achiam, with its emphasis on brotherhood and community, would have been a reminder of the importance of kinship and unity within the Israelite tribes. Names were often given with the hope or prayer that the individual would embody the characteristics or blessings associated with the name.
