Abihud
The name may also occasionally be romanized as Abioud (Greek) or 'Abiyhuwd (Hebrew).
There are two biblical characters named Abihud.
- One of the sons of Bela, the son of Benjamin; called also Ahihud (1 Chronicles 8:3,7).
- A son or grandson of Zerubbabel, and member of the Davidic line. Abihud was the father of Eliakim (Matthew 1:13, "Abiud"), and possibly the same as Obadiah (1 Chronicles 3:21).
Meaning
The name "Abihud" means "the (divine) father is glory", according to Cheyne and Black (1899).[1] The name "Ehud" is probably a shorter form of "Abihud."[2]

gollark: It would hypothetically be fairly safe to only talk about it in meta-level hypotheticals.
gollark: If it was hypothetically secret, then hypothetically, telling you information about it could hypothetically permit cryptanalysis.
gollark: Do you know how "secrecy" works, in general?
gollark: Anyway, hypothetically, if I was reading out secret data, it would be very stupid to just tell people what it was.
