A name that means "the queen (only israelite woman so titled)".

Hammoleketh (הַמֹּלֶכֶת) means literally "the queen" or "the ruler" in Hebrew. In 1 Chronicles 7:18, Hammoleketh was the sister of Gilead, **the only Israelite woman in the Bible whose name is the title "the queen"** — suggesting she may have wielded extraordinary political authority among the tribe of Manasseh.

Rare but iconic in biblical scholarship.

The queen. The only Israelite woman whose name is itself a royal title.
