Iov

Personal name: Iyov (Job), an individual noted in biblical literature as the central figure of the book bearing his name. The lexical meaning of the name is uncertain; later Hebrew tradition and some scholarship connect it with the concept of 'enmity' or 'persecution', possibly meaning 'object of hostility' or 'the persecuted one,' but the exact derivation and meaning remain debated.
