Word Origin: Derived from the root word אֶתְנָה (ethnah), which means "hire" or "wages," often used in the context of a harlot's fee.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Ethnan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of "hire" or "wages" can be related to Greek terms such as μισθός (misthos • Strong's Greek 3408), which means "wages" or "reward."

Usage: Ethnan is used as a proper name for a male individual in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah.

Context: Ethnan is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. Specifically, Ethnan is listed as a descendant of Ashur, the father of Tekoa, through his wife Helah. This reference is found in 1 Chronicles 4:7, which states: "The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar, and Ethnan." The context of this passage is a genealogical listing, which serves to trace the lineage and familial connections within the tribe of Judah. Ethnan's name, meaning "gift" or "hire," reflects the cultural practice of naming individuals with words that convey specific meanings or attributes.
