Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Unni, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The name Unni appears in the context of the Levitical genealogies and the return from the Babylonian exile. It is used to identify individuals who were part of the Levitical families responsible for temple worship and music.

Context: • Unni is mentioned in the context of the Levitical singers and gatekeepers. In 1 Chronicles 15:18, Unni is listed among the Levites appointed by David to lead the music during the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This highlights the role of Unni in the religious and ceremonial life of Israel, particularly in the context of worship and music.
• In Nehemiah 12:9, Unni is again mentioned as part of the Levitical families who returned from the Babylonian exile. This reference underscores the continuity of Levitical service and the restoration of temple worship after the exile.
• The name Unni, therefore, is associated with the dedication to temple service and the preservation of worship practices in Israel. The individuals bearing this name played a significant role in maintaining the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Jewish people during pivotal moments in their history.
