Position:Home>Genealogy> What region is this name from?Question: What region is this name from?Where does the name Terah originate from? What country? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This man's name is thought to mean "wild goat" or "station" in Biblical Hebrew (𗪖𗩮 In the Old Testament Terah was the father of Abraham. So I guess it comes from the middle east. As the name is Hebrew, and as the Jewish people were essentially a homeless nation (in Old Testament Times) the county of origin is probably unknown. However the name may be derived from an earlier language, but that is beyond my limited knowledge. |
