Ham
Proper name: Ham—the second son of Noah—frequently used in reference both to the individual and, metonymically, to his descendants or to peoples or regions traditionally identified as descending from him. The underlying adjective means 'warm, hot,' but as a personal name it functions only as a name without a clear descriptive function in the context of Noah's sons.
