Milcah First Name Meaning

Milcah is a Hebrew name that means "Queen." In biblical tradition, she is known as the daughter of Haran and the wife of Nahor, and is identified as the mother of Bethuel and grandmother of Rebecca and Laban. Some scholars believe she may have been Rebecca's mother, with Bethuel being a later addition to the text. Milcah and Nahor had eight children, and it is said that Providence granted Milcah conception in the merit of her sister Sarah. There are discussions regarding the potential incestuous nature of Milcah's marriage to Nahor, as they were both related to Abraham. Additionally, there is a midrash that suggests Milcah was the forebear of all prophets in the non-Jewish world. The name Milcah holds significant biblical and historical relevance as it is associated with prominent figures and genealogical connections.
