Word Origin:Of uncertain origin, possibly derived from the Persian name Marduk, a Babylonian deity.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mordecai in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Mordecai is primarily a figure in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage:Mordecai is a Jewish name meaning "servant of Marduk" or "little man." In the Bible, Mordecai is a central figure in the Book of Esther. He is known for his role in saving the Jewish people from a plot to destroy them, orchestrated by Haman, an official in the Persian Empire.

Cultural and Historical Background:Mordecai was a Jew living in Susa, the capital of the Persian Empire, during the reign of King Xerxes (Ahasuerus). He was the cousin and adoptive father of Esther, who became queen. Mordecai's refusal to bow to Haman, due to his Jewish faith, set off a chain of events that led to the deliverance of the Jewish people. The account of Mordecai and Esther is celebrated during the Jewish festival of Purim, which commemorates their deliverance.
