Strong's Lexicon Abishalom: Abishalom Original Word: אֲבִישָׁלוֹם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב (av, meaning "father") and שָׁלוֹם (shalom, meaning "peace"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abishalom in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of peace is captured in the Greek word εἰρήνη (eirēnē, Strong's G1515). Usage: The name Abishalom means "father of peace" or "my father is peace." It is a theophoric name, reflecting a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating elements of God's character or attributes into personal names. The name suggests a person whose lineage or character is associated with peace. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given with the hope or prayer that the individual would embody the characteristics or blessings associated with the name. The concept of "shalom" in Hebrew culture extends beyond mere absence of conflict; it encompasses wholeness, completeness, and well-being. The name Abishalom would thus carry connotations of a legacy or aspiration towards peace and harmony.
