An Egyptian hieroglyphic papyrus now in the Brooklyn Museum mentions an Asiatic slave named Shiphrah. Shiphrah, of course, is the name of one of the Hebrew midwives

Probably a verr-ry common name in that period in that area.

Like saying you are looking for a guy named "Mike," from Chicago.

For purely statistical reasons, I would attach absolutely no significance to this.

Come back to us when you find two references to the same Social Security number.

On a side note, William Foxwell Albright, an important Biblical scholar of the last century, took his mother’s maiden name as his middle name out of respect for her and her ancestor’s heritage as settlers in the New World in the 1600’s.
