Meaning & History
Means "broad, pot-bellied", "flat, wide", or "watcher, observer". It derives from the verb צפח (sapah), to be "broad or wide". It could also probably has to do with the unused verb צפח (sph), which would have meant to be "flat or wide". The final meaning likely derives from the root צָפָה (tsafah) meaning "to look out" or "to watch", so this name may carry a meaning like "watcher" or "observer".There's only one man named Zophah mentioned in the Bible, and he is a son of Helem of Asher (1 Chronicles 7:35-36).The verb צפח (sapah) means "be wide or broad". Noun צפחת (sappahat) denotes a "big jar or jug", and noun צפיחת (sepihit) denotes a kind of "flat cake or wafer".
