Meaning and etymology of the name Jarib
|

Jarib 
There are two or three men in the Bible named Jarib. In 1 Chronicles 4:24 Jarib is listed as one of the sons of Simeon, but in Numbers 26:12, he is called Jachin. The next Jarib is mentioned in Ezra 8:16 as one of a few men who Ezra sends to Iddo at Casiphia, to recruit temple servants. Probably because it is assumed that someone who originally enjoys Ezra's highest regard can't possibly do something as thoughtless as to marry a foreign wife, most scholars list the Jarib of Jeshua, mentioned in Ezra 10:18 as a third Jarib. But this is not certain.
The name Jarib is the root rib pre-fixed with the letter yod, which makes it active: he will rib.
For a meaning of the name Jarib, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads He Contends. Alfred Jones (Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names) states that the verb rib may also mean to contend in the sense of debating or pleading and suggests a rather stretched He Will Plead The Cause.
Other names derived from the verb rib are
Jareb,
Jeribai,
Jeroboam,
Jerubbaal,
Meribah,
Merib-baal and
Ribai.
