Habakkuk

n. prophet of the 7th century BC; book of the Old Testament named after this prophet; male first name

Habakkuk or Havakuk (Hebrew: חֲבַקּוּק, Standard Tiberian ) was a prophet in the Hebrew Bible. The etymology of the name of Habakkuk is not clear. The name is possibly related to the Akkadian khabbaququ, the name of a fragrant plant, or the Hebrew root חבק, meaning "embrace". He was the eighth of the twelve minor prophets and likely the author of the Book of Habakkuk, which bears his name.
