Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words כְּפַר (kephar), meaning "village," and הָעַמּוֹנִי (haammoni), meaning "of the Ammonites."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Kephar Haammoni, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related Greek entries might include terms for "village" or "Ammonite" in the Septuagint or New Testament contexts.

Usage: Kephar Haammoni refers to a specific village or settlement associated with the Ammonites, a people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. The name itself indicates a location that was either inhabited by or had significant connections to the Ammonite people.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Ammonites were a Semitic people living east of the Jordan River, often in conflict with the Israelites. They are believed to have descended from Lot, Abraham's nephew, through his younger daughter (Genesis 19:38). The region associated with the Ammonites was known for its fortified cities and strategic locations. Kephar Haammoni, as a village, would have been part of this broader cultural and geopolitical landscape, possibly serving as a border settlement or a point of interaction between the Israelites and the Ammonites.
