Strong's Lexicon Achiman: Achiman Original Word: אֲחִימַן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָח ('ach, meaning "brother") and מָן (man, meaning "portion" or "gift"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Achiman, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of giants or formidable opponents can be related to Greek terms like Γίγας (Gigas, meaning "giant"). Usage: Achiman is a personal name meaning "my brother is a gift" or "brother of a portion." It is used in the Bible to refer to one of the three sons of Anak, who were giants living in the land of Canaan during the time of the Israelite conquest. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Achiman is one of the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. The Anakim were considered formidable adversaries due to their size and strength. The presence of the Anakim in Canaan was a significant concern for the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. The Anakim were believed to be descendants of the Nephilim, mentioned in Genesis 6:4, and were associated with the Rephaim, another group of giants.
