Shisha Shisha

Shisha is the father of two secretaries of king Solomon (1 Ki 4:3). The name Shisha is not a common word in Hebrew but in Aramaic it means alabaster (see the name Shoshannah). This name is also spelled Shavsha, Shavsha (1 Chr 18:16) and Sheva, Sheva (2 Sam 20:25).

Jones derives this name from Syrian words and reads Habitation. NOBSE reads Distinction.
