Usage: Lachmas or Lachmam is a proper noun used to denote a person or place in the genealogical records of the Bible. It is not a frequently mentioned name, and its specific meaning is not extensively detailed in the biblical text.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character, role, or the circumstances of their birth. The root word לֶחֶם (lechem) is commonly associated with sustenance and provision, which might suggest a connection to abundance or nourishment. The genealogical records in which Lachmas or Lachmam appears serve to establish lineage and tribal affiliations, which were crucial for inheritance rights and social identity in ancient Israelite society.
