HaNavi

HaNavi is a Hebrew term meaning "the prophet." It combines the definite article ha- with the noun navi (prophet) and is typically rendered in English as "the prophet." The form is not a personal name in itself but a title or descriptor used in religious and literary contexts.

In the Hebrew Bible, ha-navi is used to refer to prophetic figures and to designate prophetic roles within the community. The term often appears in reference to specific prophets and their messages, and it is connected to the broader collection of prophetic books known as Nevi'im. In Jewish and Christian traditions, the concept of a Navi denotes someone believed to speak on behalf of God, delivering guidance, warning, or revelation to the people.

In modern usage, HaNavi may appear as a proper name or alias in contemporary contexts, such as in literature, media, or online discourse, where it is chosen to evoke the authority or mission associated with prophecy. The name can be found in discussions of prophecy, theology, or cultural commentary, sometimes used more as a persona than as a reference to a historical figure.

Transliteration of the term varies. HaNavi, Ha-Navi, Hanavi, or HaNavy are common renderings, reflecting differences in Hebrew vowel notation and transliteration conventions. Related terms include Navi (prophet) and Nevi'im (Prophets), the latter being the biblical section that houses many prophetic books.
