Handful-one
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); no pronominal suffix or verbal stem; used only as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is traditionally linked to the root חפן, associated with the hollow of the hand or a handful. Rendering it as "Handful-one" preserves the probable root imagery while maintaining its function as a masculine singular personal name. |
