Meaning & History
Phinees is the form of Phinehas used in the Greek Old Testament (the Septuagint). The name appears as a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew original. Phinehas itself is a name of uncertain etymology, often linked to the Egyptian Panhsj, meaning "Nubian," though a Hebrew derivation meaning "serpent's mouth" has also been proposed.
