Surely, the King of Mesopotamia, 'Chushanrishathaim' rates a mention? Judges 3:8-10. Mar 21 07, 7:52 PM

Jonathelemrechokim is actually the equal 1st longest name in the Bible, with 18 characters. It is the title of Psalm 56. The second longest name in the Bible is Chushanrishathaim, with 17 characters. It is the name of the King of Mesopotamia. Mar 21 07, 7:54 PM

Jonath-elem-rechokim is the name of a song, not a person. That's still a name, I guess, though we might more correctly call it a title. It means something like, "The Silent Dove from Far Away." I was thinking of the name Pharoah gave Joseph, the one with the amazing technicolor coat, but that's only 15 letters long, since it wouldn't be fair to count the 5 hyphens, would it?

If you were to hyphenate all that. Then Maher-Shalal-(C)Hash-Baz is much longer than it seems to be. The name Pharaoh gave Joseph is comparitively short, only two words, Tzophnat-Pa'neäch (that's a diereses over the a, not an umlaut). Which, including the hyphen and the apostrophe, is 17 characters long. Mar 22 07, 4:55 AM

In the Hebrew, Maher-Shalal-Chash-Baz is just ten letters long (without the hyphens), tied with N'vuchadretzor (another spelling of Nebuchadnezzar). The longest place name is "Even Bohan Ben R'uven" at 13 letters (in Hebrew). Mar 22 07, 4:58 AM
