Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

הָמָן proper name, masculine Haman, favourite of Ahasuerus (etymology dubious; according to Jen^{VOJ 1892,58 ff.} = Elamite proper name, of divinity Humban, or Humman) — Esther 3:1 53t. in Esther.

המס (√ of following; meaning dubious).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

הָמָן [Haman], pr.n. of a noble of Persia, celebrated on account of his plots against the Jews, Esther 3:1, seq. (With regard to the etymology of this word, I formerly followed Jo. Simonis, who compares it with Pers. همان, which he translates alone, solitary. But همان is nothing but an adv. so, only, but. Perhaps a better comparison will be Pers. همام homâm, magnificent, illustrious; or Sanscr. hêman, the planet Mercury.)
