In biblical tradition, a title or name for kings, particularly the king of the Amalekites; used as a generic term for royalty in some contexts.
From Hebrew 'Agag,' the name of Amalekite kings mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The etymology of the name itself is uncertain but may derive from Semitic roots.
The Bible uses 'Agag' as both a personal name and a title—it shows how ancient kingdoms had titles passed down through generations, like 'Pharaoh' in Egypt.
