The Hebrew proper name Achuzzam (Ahuzzam) derives from achuzzah (possession, holding) and means 'their possession' or 'possessor.' He is listed as a son of Ashhur of the tribe of Judah in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles.
The genealogies of Judah in 1 Chronicles trace the covenant lineage from which the Messiah would come. Names like Ahuzzam, though rarely mentioned elsewhere, represent real individuals whom God included in His redemptive story. The meaning 'their possession' echoes the broader biblical theme that God's people are His treasured possession (Deuteronomy 7:6), and they in turn 'possess' the land and promises He grants them.
