אדמין (Adammín) – Related to "Earth" or "Red" The name may derive from אדם (Adam, "man" or "earth"), which is linked to אדמה (adamah, "ground" or "soil") and אדם (adom, "red"). If Ἀδμὶν comes from a variation of Adam, it might carry meanings like "earthly one," "from the ground," or "red-skinned."

Hebrew Word: ארוֹן (Aron) – "Ark" or "Chest"

• ארוֹן (Aron) in biblical Hebrew refers to a chest, ark, or container, most famously in ארוֹן הברית (Aron HaBrit, "Ark of the Covenant").
• It signifies something sacred, protected, or significant, making it a meaningful basis for a personal name.

How Could ארוֹן Become Ἀρνὶ?

• The Greek Ἀρνὶ (Arni) lacks the /o/ vowel that appears in ארוֹן. However, vowel shifts and contractions are common in transliterations.
• The final "-ni" (-נִי) could represent a diminutive or possessive form, meaning "my ark" or "small ark."
• The word often drops the weak vowel to ארן (aran) from ארוֹן, making its transition into Greek easier. (See Strong's #727)
