Strong's Lexicon Lachmi: Lachmi Original Word: לַחְמִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root word לֶחֶם (lechem), meaning "bread" or "food." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Lachmi, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek term for "bread" is ἄρτος (artos), which shares a conceptual link with the root of Lachmi. Usage: Lachmi is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to an individual. Specifically, Lachmi is identified as the brother of Goliath, the Philistine giant defeated by David. The name is associated with the concept of sustenance or provision, as suggested by its root meaning "bread." Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or role.
