(Heb. Miyamin', מַיָּמַ,ִ a contracted form of the name Miniamin), the name of three persons after the exile.
1. (Sept. Μεϊαμείν v.r. Μεϊαμίν, Vulg. Maiman, Auth. Vers. "Mijamin.") The head of the sixth division of the sacerdotal order as distributed by David ( 1 Chronicles 24:9). B.C. 1014.
2. (Sept. Μεαμείν v.r. Μιαμίν,Vulg. viamiin.) One of the chief priests who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel ( Nehemiah 12:5). B.C. 536. He must have attained a great, age if identical with the priest who subscribed the religious covenant with Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 10:7, where the name is Anglicized "Mijamin"). B.C. cir. 410. . He is probably the same person called Miniamin in Nehemiah 12:17, but his son's name appears there to have accidentally escaped from the text. (See Moadiah).
3. (Sept. Μεαμίν v.r. Μεαμίμ ,Vulg. Miamin.) One of the Israelites, a "son" (i.e., inhabitant) of Parosh, who divorced his Gentile wife after the captivity ( Ezra 10:25). B.C. 459.
