Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yibneyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of "building" is captured in Greek by the verb οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō), Strong's Greek #3618, meaning "to build" or "to edify."

Usage: Yibneyah is a personal name meaning "Yahweh will build" or "Yahweh builds." It reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of incorporating the name of God (Yahweh) into personal names, signifying a relationship or attribute associated with God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to express a parent's hope or prayer for their child, or to commemorate an event or divine intervention. The name Yibneyah suggests a recognition of God's role in establishing or building up the individual or family. This reflects the broader cultural understanding of God as the ultimate source of strength and stability.
