Leummim

Person Name

Name meaning: "countries; without water"

Leummim (meaning peoples; nations) was a son of Dedan and grandson of Abraham through Jokshan and Keturah (Gen. 25:3). He appears only in this genealogy alongside his brothers Asshurim and Letushim and is otherwise unattested. His name suggests he was regarded as the ancestor of some Arabian people-group, consistent with the table of nations pattern in which personal names represent tribal or national identities.
