Leummim Leummim

The Leummim are descendants of Dedan, son of Jokshan, son of Abraham with Keturah.

The name Leummim is the plural form of the unused root leom (l'm 1069). Although this root is not used in the Bible, it is a familiar Semitic root (the Arabic word la'ama means assemble). Derivatives of this root that are used in the Bible are leom and leom (leom 1069a) and mean nations, or people.

Other words for people are: goy (goy 326e), which denotes corporeality (used in the name Haroseth-hagoyim), and am (am 1640a), which refers to a group of people that are related (as used in the names Amram, Amalek, Rehoboam, and possibly Gomorrah).

The name Leummim means Peoples.
