Meaning, use and context
Ḥenanishoʿ I is a specific historical bearer identified by Lucas Van Rompay as a catholicos and author. His career involved deposition, withdrawal to a monastery near Mosul and death in 699 or 700. The alternative years are retained rather than presented as a single securely known date.
A legal collection survives under his name, while excerpts preserve parts of his Gospel interpretation. Other works listed by later scholars have left no known surviving text. This distinguishes direct manuscript evidence from the broader catalogue of writings attributed to him.
The checked source uses Ḥenanishoʿ, not the exact catalogue romanization Khnanisho. The proposed 'mercy of Jesus' translation, modern family use and equivalence between regional forms require further evidence. No spoken-variety pronunciation or popularity ranking is inferred from the historical patriarch's importance.
