Yimnâh is a personal name referring to two individuals in the Hebrew Bible, both Israelite males: one a descendant of Asher (Genesis 46:17; Numbers 26:44; 1 Chronicles 7:35) and another a Levite in the reign of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:14). The name's meaning is uncertain but is likely connected to concepts of the right hand or favor, potentially indicating fortune or prosperity.
