Strong's Lexicon Berayah: Berayah Original Word: בְּרָאיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּרַע (bara), meaning "to create" or "to bring forth," combined with יָה (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Berayah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of creation by God is echoed in Greek terms like κτίσις (ktisis, Strong's G2937), meaning "creation" or "creature." Usage: The name Berayah can be understood to mean "Yahweh has created" or "created by Yahweh." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, which was common in ancient Israelite culture to signify a relationship with God or to attribute an action to Him. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect the parents' faith, circumstances of birth, or a prophetic declaration over the child's life. The use of the divine name in personal names was a way to honor God and acknowledge His sovereignty and involvement in the lives of His people. The name Berayah reflects a cultural emphasis on divine creation and providence.
