Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the name רוּת (Ruth) is uncertain, but it is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G4503, which is Ῥούθ (Routh), the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Ruth. This entry is used in the New Testament genealogies, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew, where Ruth is mentioned as an ancestor of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:5, BSB). Usage: The name Ruth is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a Moabite woman who becomes an ancestor of King David and, by extension, part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Context: Ruth is a central figure in the Book of Ruth, one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. She is a Moabite woman who marries Mahlon, one of the sons of Elimelech and Naomi, an Israelite family that moved to Moab due to famine in Bethlehem. After the death of her husband and father-in-law, Ruth remains loyal to her mother-in-law, Naomi, and famously declares, "Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God" (Ruth 1:16, BSB). Ruth's devotion leads her to Bethlehem with Naomi, where she meets Boaz, a relative of Naomi's late husband. Boaz acts as a kinsman-redeemer, marrying Ruth and securing her and Naomi's future. Ruth and Boaz become the great-grandparents of King David, placing Ruth in the Messianic line. The story of Ruth is celebrated for its themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and divine providence.
