Was Ruth's husband, Boaz named after the column by the temple of Solomon or vice versa? Or was this a quiescence? Was this a common name for boys? **Ruth 2:1 ESV** > Now Naomi had a relative of her husband's, a worthy man of the clan of > Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. and **2 Chronicles 3:17 ESV** > He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the > other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on > the north Boaz.
