Nimshi

Namshi (; Latin and Douay-Rheims: Namsi) was the grandfather of Jehu, father of a man named Jehoshaphat (not to be confused with Jehoshaphat the son of Asa and a king of Judah), and a character in the Hebrew Bible.

Although he is sometimes referred to as the father of Jehu in the Hebrew Bible, this is usually regarded by scholars to mean that this means antecedent of father, not that Jehu was the son of Nimshi. The word Nimshi comes from the Hebrew language circa 600 B.C., and literally translates to mean "one who rescues those in danger".
