Hivite Hivite

The Hivites are descendant of Canaan, son of Noah.

Jones and BDB suggest relations with the noun hwh (hawa 617a) meaning tent, village. The root verb hwh (hawa 618) means show, tell, make known. hwh (hawa 619) means prostrate oneself; worship. The name Hivite bears a striking resemblance to Eve.

The name Hivite possibly means Villagers (BDB).
