Strong's Lexicon Akko: Akko Original Word: עַכּוֹ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עכ, which is not clearly defined but is used as a place name. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Akko in the Strong's Concordance, as it is primarily a Hebrew place name. However, the Greek name for Akko during the Hellenistic period was Ptolemais (Strong's Greek 4424: Πτολεμαΐς). Usage: Akko is a coastal city in ancient Canaan, known in modern times as Acre. It is mentioned in the Bible as a city that the Israelites did not conquer during their initial settlement in the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: Akko is one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the world, with a history that dates back to the Bronze Age. It was a significant Phoenician port city and later became an important location during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Crusader periods. Its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast made it a valuable asset for trade and military purposes.
