Meaning & origin
(measured from records)The King of Hena serves as a minor historical example within a larger theological argument about the absolute sovereignty of the God of Israel. His defeat is used by the Assyrians to challenge God's power, but the subsequent miraculous deliverance of Jerusalem serves to contrast the impotence of the gods of nations like Hena with the unique power of Yahweh.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
