Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root לָבָן (lavan), meaning "white."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Libni, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: The name "Libni" means "white" or "whitish." In the Bible, Libni is a personal name used to identify a descendant of Levi, specifically a son of Gershon, who was one of the three sons of Levi. The name is used to denote a family or clan within the Levitical tribe.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of personal characteristics, family heritage, or divine encounters. The Levites, to whom Libni belonged, were a tribe set apart for religious duties and service in the Tabernacle and later the Temple. The Gershonites, descendants of Gershon, were responsible for the care of the Tabernacle's fabrics and coverings during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings.
