Israelite tradition states that this is not the name of a person. Rather, in keeping with the Hebrew meaning of the word ("desirable"), the verse means "You are beautiful, my love, when you are pleasing (to God); comely as Jerusalem, fearful as an army with banners." (Rashi commentary, quoting the ancient Midrash Sifrei.)
According to our tradition (and Rashi commentary), the Song of Songs, unlike all other Hebrew Bible books, has no simple meaning and is to be explained, read and understood ONLY as an allegory (it hints to the love between God and His people, in the poetic form of a young couple). All other Tanakh books have their plain translation, which is valuable in itself, plus deeper meanings and allegory. The Song of Songs is the only exception.See also:
