Strong's Lexicon Shima: Shima Original Word: שִׁמְעָא Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shima, the concept of hearing and obedience is echoed in Greek words such as ἀκούω (akouo - Strong's Greek 191), meaning "to hear," and ὑπακούω (hypakouo - Strong's Greek 5219), meaning "to obey." Usage: The name "Shima" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, typically referring to a person. It is derived from the root word שָׁמַע, which means "to hear" or "to listen," suggesting a connotation of obedience or attentiveness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often reflective of personal characteristics, divine encounters, or familial hopes. The root שָׁמַע is significant in Hebrew theology, as hearing and obeying God's word is a central theme throughout the Scriptures. The name Shima, therefore, may imply a person who is attentive to God's voice or commands. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom shama Definition four Isr. NASB Translation Shimea (5).
