Ephraim is primarily used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a tribe. It is the name of the second son of Joseph, born to him in Egypt, and later becomes the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The name Ephraim means "fruitful," reflecting Joseph's declaration in Genesis 41:52, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."
