Berean Strong's Lexicon Yoelah: Yoelah Original Word: יוֹאֵלָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יוֹאֵל (Yoel), meaning "Yahweh is God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yoelah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the Greek equivalent for Joel (Ἰωήλ, Iōēl) is found in the Septuagint and the New Testament. Usage: The name Yoelah is a feminine form of the name Joel, which means "Yahweh is God." It is used as a proper noun, typically referring to a female individual in the context of Hebrew culture and scripture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often theophoric, meaning they included the name of a deity, in this case, Yahweh. This reflects the deep religious convictions of the Israelites, who named their children in ways that honored God and expressed theological truths. The name Yoelah, like Joel, would have been a testament to the faith of the family in the sovereignty and divinity of Yahweh.
