3048. Yedayah

Strong's Lexicon

Yedayah: Yedayah

Original Word: יְדַעְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Ykda`yah
Pronunciation: yeh-dah-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yed-ah-yaw')
Definition: Yedayah
Meaning: Jedajah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָדַע (yada), meaning "to know," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yedayah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God's knowledge and omniscience is reflected in Greek terms like γινώσκω (ginosko, Strong's G1097), meaning "to know."

Usage: The name Yedayah means "Yahweh knows" or "Yahweh has known." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's omniscience and intimate knowledge of His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth. The name Yedayah, incorporating the divine name Yah, indicates a deep reverence for God and an acknowledgment of His all-knowing nature. This reflects the cultural importance of names as expressions of faith and identity in the biblical world.
