Usage: Shemida is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a descendant of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Israel. The name is often interpreted to mean "name of knowledge" or "renowned for knowledge," though its root suggests a connection to destruction or annihilation, possibly indicating a powerful or formidable reputation.
