Meaning and etymology of the name Togarmah




Togarmah Togarmah


Togarmah is a son of Gomer, son of Japheth, son of Noah (Genesis 10:3).

This unusually long name does not occur as a word in the Hebrew language. But at the heart of the name Togarmah sits the common Hebrew noun garam (gerem), bone, which figuratively is used to mean self or strength. As a verb garam (garam) means break or crush bones (Numbers 24:8). And the root-verb of both, garam (garam) means lay aside or save, as used only in Zeph 3:3 (they leave nothing for the morning).

The name Togarmah may mean Bone Breaker, or as Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Breaking Bones.
