Ahab
Ahab is a Hebrew-origin name mostly used for naming baby boys. The meaning of Ahab is 'uncle' or 'brother of the father.' Spelled as Achab in Hebrew, where 'Ach' means brother and 'av' means 'father.' Ahab is a biblical name too. According to the Bible, Ahab was the Son of King Omri and was the seventh king of the Northern kingdom of Israel, where he reigned from 874-853 BC. He and his wife Jezebel were known for their wickedness. The name Ahab is also known for its characterization in Herman Melville's novel 'Moby Dick', published in 1851. In it, Ahab's character belonged to that of a Sea Captain who was obsessively seen hunting for a White whale. Due to its beautiful meaning, Ahab is a pleasant name to address one's uncle. Although a male-given name, Ahab is very rarely used. There is a German metal band called Ahab, inspired by Captain Ahab from 'Moby Dick'. In 1962, Ray Stevens released a song called 'Ahab the Arab'.
