Ahinoam is a Hebrew name literally meaning brother of pleasantness, thus meaning pleasant. There are two references in the Bible to people who bear that name: * A daughter of Ahimaaz, who became a wife of Saul and the mother of his four sons and two daughters. * A woman from Jezreel, who was captured by David while he was at war with Saul, and became David's wife, and the mother of Amnon.
