885. Achim
Strong's Lexicon
Achim: Achim

Original Word: Ἀχείμ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Indeclinable
Transliteration: Achim
Pronunciation: ah-KHEEM
Phonetic Spelling: (akh-ime')
Definition: Achim
Meaning: Achim, son of Zadok and father of Eliud.

Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, corresponding to the Hebrew name אֲחִים (Akhim)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 251: אָח ('ach) - meaning "brother" or "kinsman."

Usage: Achim is a personal name found in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. It is used to identify one of the ancestors of Jesus, specifically in the line of Joseph, His legal father. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in Greek, but it is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "brother" or "kinsman."

Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish culture, genealogies were significant for establishing identity, heritage, and legal rights. The genealogy of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew traces His legal lineage through Joseph, affirming His rightful place in the line of David, which was essential for the Messianic claim. Achim is one of the lesser-known figures in this genealogy, and little is known about him outside of this context.
