Etymology of MANASSES

The word "Manasses" is derived from the Latin form "Manasse" which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name "Menashsheh" (מְנַשֶּׁה). In the Bible, specifically in the Old Testament, "Manasseh" was the name of two significant figures. The first was a son of the biblical patriarch Joseph and his wife Asenath, thus making him one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The second was Manasseh, king of Judah, who ruled from around 687 to 642 BC. Over time, the name "Menashsheh" was anglicized and spelled as "Manasseh" or "Manasses" in different translations, depending on the language.
