Meaning & History
Necoda is the Latin form of the biblical name Nekoda, appearing in the Latin Old Testament (the Vulgate). The name originates from the Hebrew root meaning "marked". In the Old Testament, Nekoda is listed as the head of a family of temple servants (Nethinim) who returned from the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:48, Nehemiah 7:50). The Latin rendering Necoda follows common transcription patterns of the Vulgate, where Hebrew 'K' often becomes Latin 'C'. This name is rarely used today but appears in biblical studies and discussions of post-exilic temple personnel.
