עמיהוד

Amihud is an ancient biblical Hebrew name composed of two elements: 'ami' meaning 'my people' or 'my kinfolk', and 'hod' meaning 'splendor', 'glory' or 'majesty'. The complete meaning of the name is 'my people is glory' or 'the glory of my people', expressing deep appreciation for the people of Israel and their magnificence. The name appears in the Bible as that of one of the tribal leaders during the wilderness period, reflecting the importance attributed to leadership and representing the people before God. Amihud son of Ammishaddai was the prince of the tribe of Simeon, and was honored to be among those who stood at the head of the people during the formative desert journey. The name Amihud carries values of national pride, communal belonging, and a sense of responsibility toward the public. The use of the word 'ami' emphasizes the deep connection between the individual and the collective, between the person and their people, expressing the traditional Jewish concept of 'mutual responsibility' - all Israel are responsible for one another. The component 'hod' adds a dimension of honor, prestige and splendor, indicating a positive and optimistic perception of the people and community. In the biblical era, names that included the word 'hod' were common among distinguished families and leaders, reflecting the social and spiritual status of their bearers. Today, the name Amihud is considered rare and special, typically chosen by families wishing to preserve biblical heritage and give their children a name with deep meaning and historical connection.
