📖 Sobre Phin
Phin é uma forma abreviada moderna e concisa de Phineas (hebraico: Pinchas, פִּינְחָס), um nome de etimologia contestada — possivelmente derivado do egípcio 'Pa-nehesy' (o nubiano) ou do hebraico para 'boca de serpente' (oráculo). Aparece no Antigo Testamento como um zeloso sacerdote israelita e na mitologia grega como um profeta cego, conferindo ao nome dupla ressonância de autoridade sagrada e visão oracular.
