### Core Meaning & Semantic Range
The Hebrew term `{{H2745}}` (חַרְחַס, Charchas) is a proper noun, specifically the name of an individual. Its etymology is linked to `{{H2775}}` (חֶרֶס, cheres), which possesses a dual semantic range: "sun" and "earthenware" or "potsherd." Strong's Concordance suggests a derivation from the "sun" meaning, proposing "perhaps shining" as the underlying sense for Charchas. While the precise nuance of the name's meaning for its bearer is not explicitly stated in scripture, the proposed etymology points towards qualities associated with light, brilliance, or perhaps even a connection to the sun's pervasive nature. Given its singular occurrence as a proper name, its semantic range is limited to its identification of a specific person within Israelite lineage.
