Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to keep, guard, observe, give heed."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shimri in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of vigilance or watchfulness can be related to Greek terms like γρηγορέω (grēgoreō - Strong's G1127), meaning "to watch" or "to be vigilant."

Usage: Shimri is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." It is used to identify several individuals, primarily within genealogical contexts.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the character or destiny of the individual. The root שָׁמַר (shamar) suggests a role of protection or observance, which was a valued trait in a society that relied heavily on community and familial roles for survival and religious observance.
