What does it matter what it means? Almost never does the meaning of a person’s name have anything to do with what a person turns out in life, what he does and his personality.MGWB wrote:Yes, thank you.Jason Hare wrote: Do you mean יִשְׁוִי from Numbers 26.44?

There are two, possibly three, roots that this name could come from, and we are given no clue as to which of these possibilities is meant, so to assign which of the possibilities is the correct one is futile.
