Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Unni, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the concept of answering or responding in a liturgical context can be related to Greek terms like ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai - to answer) or λειτουργία (leitourgia - service, ministry). Usage: The name "Unni" is used in the Bible as a proper noun referring to a specific individual. It is a personal name that appears in the context of the Levitical genealogies and duties. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the individual's character or role. The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties, including temple service and music. The name Unni, derived from a root meaning "to answer," may suggest a role in responding or participating in worship, possibly through music or liturgical responses.
