Renan
Ornan
Ornan, a personal name referring to a Jebusite individual from Jerusalem who becomes significant during the reign of King David. Ornan is noted as the owner of the threshing floor that David purchases to dedicate as a site of sacrifice. The name itself appears only in the books of Chronicles, representing an individual rather than a common noun. It does not express an attribute but identifies a person, and is likely to preserve, through an Israelite adaptation, a non-Israelite (Jebusite) name. The semantic range in biblical texts is limited to this specific individual.

SIBI-P1 Translation H771-01
Ornan
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun; masculine singular personal name (HNp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a proper masculine singular name of uncertain, likely Jebusite origin, not derived transparently from a Hebrew root. Therefore it is best rendered by direct transliteration, preserving its identity as a personal name rather than assigning speculative meaning. |
