Ahinoam

Ajinoam (Hebrew: אֲחִינֹעַם‎ ʾăḥīnōʿam) is a Hebrew name literally meaning brother of pleasantness, or my brother is pleasant, thus meaning pleasant.

There are two references in the Bible to people; who bear that name;

  • A daughter of Ahimaaz; who became a wife of Saul and the mother of his five sons and two daughters, one of whom is Michal, David's first wife.
  • A woman from Jezreel, who became David's second wife, after he fled from Saul, leaving Michal, his first wife, behind, and the mother of Amnon, David's first-born.
