Name 201234

Name
Iochabeli
Gender
female
Structure
unknown
Type
unknown
Genealogy
Semitic: Arabic or Blemmyan/Beja
Origin
foreign
Etymology
The name is definitely not Nubian. It can perhaps be compared with such Iochamir and Shurahbil/Serabel, which makes it possibly a South Arabian import (pers. comm. N. Vanthieghem). Otherwise, it could be a Blemmyan name, as suggested by the element ⲓⲱ-, as ⲓⲟⲩ- is the marker of nominative singular in Old Bedauye.
