Berean Strong's Lexicon
Yocha: Yocha

Original Word: יוֹכָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yocha
Pronunciation: yo-KHAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yo-khaw')
Definition: Yocha
Meaning: Jocha

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָכַח (yakach), meaning "to decide, adjudge, prove, or rebuke."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the concept of judgment or correction can be found in words like ἐλέγχω (elegcho - Strong's Greek 1651), meaning "to convict, refute, or reprove."

Usage: The name Yocha is not directly found in the canonical texts of the Hebrew Bible. It is a hypothetical or reconstructed name based on the root יָכַח, which is associated with judgment or correction. The name could imply "Yahweh will judge" or "Yahweh will prove."

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of a person's character or destiny. The root יָכַח is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often related to God's role as a judge or the act of correction and reproof. This reflects the cultural importance of justice and divine authority in Israelite society.
