סרן
Hebrew
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Borrowed from Philistine, F. M. Cross suggests 𐤈𐤓𐤍 (ṭrn), which he translates as "tyrant".[1] R. D. Barnett speculated the Philistine term might be Indo-European and related to Hittite [script needed] (šarawanaš) / [script needed] (tarawanaš)[2] or Ancient Greek τῠ́ραννος (túrannos), itself probably a loan from Asia Minor (see entry).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

- (Biblical Hebrew) lord, prince, ruler of one of the five Philistine cities
