u.lam is a personal name borne by men named in genealogical family lines.

The attested use is a proper personal name in genealogical notices: one Ulam is listed among Sheresh’s sons and has Bedan as a son, while another is Eshek’s firstborn and is named as the ancestor of a later family line.

    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every occurrence. In 1 Chronicles 7:16 the APB renders Ulam among the sons of Sheresh, and 1 Chronicles 7:17 names Bedan as his son; in 1 Chronicles 8:39 it renders Ulam as Eshek’s firstborn, while 1 Chronicles 8:40 introduces his sons.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the term consistently as “Ulam,” first in family lists and then in clauses identifying his sons. The paraphrase is not word-aligned, but its genealogical clauses clearly treat the form as a personal name.
