Shua
Proper name, denoting (1) a Canaanite woman associated as the wife of Judah, mother to some of his children; (2) an individual, son or descendant of Heber, as listed among the clans of the northern tribes. The word itself, though homonymous with the noun meaning 'cry for help,' here serves as a personal name, with no lexical evidence of it being used as a common noun for 'wealth.' The word is limited to its function as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7774-01
My King is Deliverance
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; compound form with first-person singular possessive element ("my king") + noun of deliverance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a compound of מַלְכִּי ("my king," with first-person singular suffix) and שׁוּעַ ("deliverance/salvation"). Rendering it as "My King is Deliverance" preserves both the possessive morphology and the saving/delivering sense of the second root. |
