Meaning of the name תלמי

Talmai is an ancient Hebrew name with deep biblical roots, carrying multiple fascinating meanings. The name appears in the Bible in several different contexts and is considered a name with a strong and unique character. The name originates from the Aramaic-Hebrew root "telem," which refers to a furrow in the ground - the groove that a plow creates in the earth during plowing. This meaning gives the name a profound sense of connection to the land, agriculture, and working the soil, which was the foundation of life in ancient times. In the Bible, Talmai appears as the name of the king of Geshur, King David's father-in-law. Talmai was the father of Maacah, one of David's wives and the mother of Absalom. This family connection gives the name a royal and honorable status, linking it to the Davidic dynasty. Additionally, the name Talmai also appears as one of the sons of Anak, the giants that the Israelites found in the land of Canaan during its conquest. This figure gives the name connotations of strength, might, and physical power. The combination of the agricultural-earthly meaning with the biblical royal and mighty contexts creates a multi-dimensional name rich in meanings. Talmai is a name that conveys rootedness, connection to the land and tradition, but also strength and power. It is suitable for parents seeking an original biblical name that is not particularly common, a name that carries a rich history and deep meaning. The name has a strong masculine character and is especially appropriate for families wishing to connect their children to biblical tradition and the ancient roots of the Jewish people. In the modern era, Talmai is a relatively rare name, which gives it uniqueness and distinction, while maintaining connection to the rich historical and cultural heritage.
