Etymology

Borrowed from Biblical Hebrew חֲבַקּוּק (ḥăḇaqqūq). The name perhaps comes from חָבַק (ḥāḇaq, “embrace”), or perhaps from Akkadian 𒄩𒄠𒁀𒄣𒄣 (ḫambaqūqu [ḫa-am-ba-qu-qu], “garden herb”).

2. A Jewish prophet of the Old Testament; author of the book that bears his name.
   • 1906, S. R. Driver, The Minor Prophets: Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, The Century Bible, page 49:

     Of Habakkuk's personal life nothing is known with certainty, though it has been inferred, from the fact that he is termed specifically 'the prophet,' that he held a recognized position as prophet […] , and belonged, consequently, to the tribe of Levi.

3. (rare) A male given name from Hebrew of biblical origin.
   • 2009, Jeff Suzuki, Mathematics in Historical Context, page 315:
