miv.sam is used as a personal name in genealogical lists, including among Ishmael's sons and Shallum's line.

The term is consistently a proper personal name: it appears in lists of Ishmael's sons in Genesis 25:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:29, and as a descendant in Shallum's line in 1 Chronicles 4:25.

   In Genesis 25:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:29, the form is tagged as a proper noun and occurs in the list following Ishmael, alongside named sons; the APB renders each list with “Mibsam.” In 1 Chronicles 4:25, the same proper-noun use occurs in the succession “Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Mibsam” in each verse: twice within lists of Ishmael's sons and once in a father-to-son genealogy. This reflects the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical rendering.
