📖 À propos Phin
Phin est une forme abrégée moderne et concise de Phineas (hébreu : Pinchas, פִּינְחָס), un prénom à l'étymologie contestée — peut-être dérivé de l'égyptien 'Pa-nehesy' (le Nubien) ou de l'hébreu pour 'bouche du serpent' (oracle). Il apparaît dans l'Ancien Testament comme un prêtre israélite zélé et dans la mythologie grecque comme un prophète aveugle, donnant au nom une double résonance d'autorité sacrée et de vision oraculaire.
