“Possibly hidden or eternity”

A name from the Hebrew Bible, given to a son of Shem who is regarded as the ancestor of the Elamite people. Possibly related to a Hebrew word meaning 'hidden' or 'eternity', though the name may also simply come from Elam, an ancient civilization and empire in what is now southwestern Iran; the exact origin is uncertain.
