Original Word: פַּלּוּא
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Pallu

Definition: Pallu
Meaning: Pallu

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּלָה (palah), meaning "to distinguish" or "to separate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Pallu, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of tribal lineage and family heads can be related to Greek terms like "πατριά" (patria) meaning "family" or "lineage."

Usage: Pallu is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a son of Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob. The name Pallu is associated with the tribe of Reuben, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name itself may imply a sense of distinction or separation, possibly reflecting the role or characteristics of the individual or his descendants.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the individual's destiny or role within the community. Pallu, as a descendant of Reuben, would have been part of the tribal structure that played a crucial role in the identity and organization of the Israelite people. The tribe of Reuben settled on the east side of the Jordan River, and its members were known for their pastoral lifestyle.
