Mattaniah
The name "Mattaniah" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "gift of Yahweh" or "gift of the LORD." This name reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating the name of God (Yahweh) into personal names, signifying a dedication or acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and blessings. Historically, names like Mattaniah were often given to express gratitude or to invoke divine favor. In the context of Ezra, this name may symbolize the hope for divine restoration and blessing as the Israelites sought to renew their covenant with God.

Mattenai
"Mattenai" is another Hebrew name, closely related to Mattaniah, and it also carries the connotation of a gift or offering. The repetition of similar names in this passage underscores the cultural and religious significance of naming in the post-exilic community. It reflects the continuity of faith and tradition among the Israelites, even after their return from exile. The presence of such names in the genealogical records of Ezra highlights the community's desire to re-establish their identity and heritage in alignment with God's covenant.

Jaasu
The name "Jaasu" is less common and its exact meaning is not as clear as the previous names. However, it is believed to be derived from a root that implies action or doing, possibly meaning "he will do" or "Yahweh acts." This name could symbolize the active role of God in the lives of His people, a reminder of His ongoing involvement and intervention in their history. In the context of Ezra, it serves as a testament to the belief that God was actively working to restore and guide the Israelites as they rebuilt their community and faith.
