Strong's Lexicon Hoshama or Yehoshama: Hoshama or Yehoshama Original Word: הוֹשָׁמָע Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots יָשַׁע (yasha, meaning "to save" or "deliver") and שָׁמַע (shama, meaning "to hear" or "obey"). The prefix "Yeho-" is a theophoric element referring to the name of God, Yahweh. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hoshama or Yehoshama in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of God hearing or saving is reflected in Greek terms like σωτήρ (soter, meaning "savior") and ἀκούω (akouo, meaning "to hear"). Usage: The name Hoshama or Yehoshama can be understood to mean "Yahweh has heard" or "Yahweh hears." It is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a common practice of embedding theological significance within names. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, parental hopes, or divine attributes. The use of the theophoric element "Yeho-" in names was a way to honor Yahweh and acknowledge His role in the individual's life. Names like Hoshama or Yehoshama would have been a reminder of God's attentiveness and readiness to save or deliver His people.
