There are several of this name in Scripture. Two kings of the Ammorites. (See 1 Samuel 11:1 and 2 Samuel 17:27) And there was a third, Nahash, father of Abigail, (2 Samuel 17:25) it is somewhat singular to find persons of this name, for it is derived from Nachash, serpent. And so the serpent is called, Genesis 3:1.
