Strong's Lexicon Shammua: Shammua Original Word: שַׁמּוּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shammua in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of hearing and listening is captured in Greek by the verb ἀκούω (akouo), Strong's Greek #191. Usage: The name Shammua means "heard" or "he has heard." It is used as a proper name for several individuals in the Old Testament, indicating a person who is attentive or one who has been heard by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The root שָׁמַע (shama) is a common verb in Hebrew, emphasizing the importance of hearing and obedience in the Hebrew faith. The name Shammua, therefore, may imply a person who is attentive to God's word or whose prayers have been heard by God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom shama Definition three Isr.
