Onam
o.nam is used as a personal name in genealogical lists, identifying a son of Shobal and a descendant of Jerahmeel.
The attested form functions as a proper personal name: it occurs among Shobal's sons in Genesis 36:23 and 1 Chronicles 1:40, and it identifies Atarah's son and the father of Shammai and Jada in 1 Chronicles 2:26 and 1 Chronicles 2:28.

The form is tagged as a proper noun in all four occurrences. In Genesis 36:23 and 1 Chronicles 1:40, the APB renders it within the list of Shobal's sons; in 1 Chronicles 2:26 it names Atarah's son, and in 1 Chronicles 2:28 it identifies the father of Shammai and Jada.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Onam” in each occurrence, within genealogical lists and family statements. This reflects the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical rendering.
