Original Word: גּוּנִי
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Guwniy
Pronunciation: goo-NEE
Phonetic Spelling: (goo-nee')
Definition: Guni
Meaning: Guni

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גּוּן (gun), which is not used in the Bible but is thought to mean "to protect" or "to defend."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Guni in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context.

Usage: Guni is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a member of the tribe of Naphtali. The name Guni is understood to mean "protected" or "defended," reflecting a possible characteristic or hope for the individual or family line.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of birth, a parent's hope for the child, or a characteristic of the family. The tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was known for its warriors and played a role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. The mention of Guni as a descendant of Naphtali situates him within this broader narrative of Israel's history.
