Naaman
Naaman's
Proper name; denotes 'Naaman,' used as a personal name for two distinct individuals in the Hebrew Bible—one, a member of the tribe of Benjamin (an Israelite), and the other, a high-ranking Syrian official (commander of the Aramean army). The name itself expresses the sense of 'pleasantness, delightfulness,' or 'pleasant one.' While primarily used as a personal name, it preserves a semantic link to notions of attractiveness or graciousness.
