Usage: Maath is a personal name found in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. It is used to identify an ancestor of Jesus, specifically in the lineage traced through Mary, His mother.

Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish tradition, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity, heritage, and tribal affiliation. The genealogy in Luke 3 is significant as it traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, emphasizing His role as the Savior for all humanity.
