Aholabamah is the name of a wife of an individual I picked up as residing in VA. They moved to NC in the mid 1700’s. Surely this is Native American and likely one of the VA Tribes. :confused:
Does anyone know what her name means or what language or tribal affiliation this might be??
Clydene, I stumbled on this name while doing some research. Kerrenhappuch sounds Native to me but maybe someone knows the answer.

Hi Ed,
Actually it’s and Old Testament Hebrew name. I thought the same thing years ago but was gently corrected by a Jewish researcher I mentioned it to. Oh well…

And it occurred to me that Aholabamah could be of African derivation. Does rhyme with Obama, doesn’t it?
Thanks Forrest; I did my research this time , she was the younger daughter of the children of Job after the Lord Restored Him. The name means “horn of antimony” and if that confuses me and it did, antimony is of the nitrogen family and was used in biblical times in cosmetics and medicine. I would let someone else make an interpretation of why she was named that. But thanks again! Ed
Clydene, I think Aholabamah is a variation of Aholibamah, one of the wives of Esau, see Genesis 36:2.
