Thorny; from the mountain of the covenant
Sinai is a place-name of Hebrew origin, referring to the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The etymology is often linked to the Hebrew word 'seneh', meaning thorn bush, or potentially the ancient Mesopotamian moon god Sin. It carries significant spiritual weight as a symbol of revelation and law.
