The etymology of the name of the prophet is not clear. It seems to be a loan-word representing the Assyrian 'hambakuku, ' a garden-plant, and has the appearance of being a writer's pseudonym (F. E. Peiser, 'Der Prophet Habakuk, ' in 'Mitteilungen der Vorderasiatischen Gesellschaft, ' 1903, i. 12) . ... Peiser (l. C. ) contends that Habakkuk is the pseudonym of a Judean prince held as a hostage in Nineveh, and who witnessed the attack of the Medes, in alliance with Chaldea and Babylon, in 625 B. C. But his book announces a second attack. This prince may have been the son or grandson of Manasseh. Peiser shows that Habakkuk displays remarkable familiarity with Assyrian literature, his similes indicating quotations from, and adaptations of, Assyrian mythological writings. - 1906 JE.
