Naamite

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(Heb. Neadsmzi', נִעֲמַי; Sept. Νοεμανί ), a title of the family descended from NAAMAN (See NAAMAN) (q.v.), the grandson of Benjamin (Numbers 25:40). The name is a contraction, of a kind which does not often occur in Hebrew. Accordingly the Samaritan Codex presents it at length "the Naamanites."
