Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Achlay

Definition: Achlay
Meaning: Achlai

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֲח (ach), meaning "brother" or "kinsman."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Achlay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: Achlay is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a specific individual, indicating familial or tribal connections. The name itself suggests a sense of kinship or brotherhood, which is a common theme in Hebrew names.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's heritage, character, or the circumstances of their birth. The use of familial terms in names, such as "brother" or "kinsman," reflects the importance of family and tribal identity in Israelite society. Names were not only identifiers but also conveyed a person's place within the community and their relationship to others.
