Jarah
Masculine
English Bible
Meaning & Origin
Jarah is a name of Old Testament origin, meaning "honeycomb" in Hebrew. This name appears in the Hebrew Bible (1 Chronicles 9:42) as referring to a descendant of King Saul, the first king of Israel. Though Jarah is considered a minor biblical figure with limited personal details, his inclusion in a genealogical list underscores his place in the royal lineage of Saul.
The name belongs to the broader subcategory of biblical names derived from natural imagery—in this case, sweetness and sustenance suggested by honeycomb. In modern times, Jarah is sometimes viewed as a rare or alternative form of Ya'ra, the original Biblical Hebrew rendering. While never a common name in historical usage, it has occasionally been used as a distinctive choice for boys in English-speaking Christian families and is viewed as a variant masculine form within the context of biblical nomenclature.
