Anamim
ʻĂnāmîm refers to the Anamim, a group or people appearing in genealogical lists as descendants of Mizraim (Egypt) in Genesis 10:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:11. The term functions as a proper ethnonym, designating a people group, likely situated geographically in relation to ancient Egypt. No clear evidence establishes a Hebrew meaning beyond the name itself, which appears only in genealogical contexts. The semantic range is thus restricted to a proper name for this non-Israelite people.
