Book of TaNaKhic names with their meanings

I hope this is the right forum for a search/request like this.

A few months ago - unfortunately, I don't remember the context in which it arose - I stumbled across a terrific book on HebrewBooks.org that listed virtually every name appearing in TaNa"Kh with its meaning and source.

One name I specifically remember appearing in the book is אהליאב. It described the name as meaning that HaShem (G-d) is our tent (i.e. our protector) and brought a description of who Aholiav was.

Does anyone know of a book or books like this? I would be truly grateful!
