Strong's Lexicon

Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yechieli
Pronunciation: yeh-khee-eh-LEE
Phonetic Spelling: (yekh-ee-ay-lee')
Definition: Yechieli
Meaning: a Jechielite

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יְחִיאֵל (Yechiel), meaning "God lives" or "may God live."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yechieli in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God living or being the source of life is echoed in Greek terms like Ζωή (Zoe, Strong's Greek 2222), meaning "life."

Usage: The name Yechieli is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name of God (El) and expressing a declaration of faith or a prayerful wish that God may live or sustain life. It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used to express theological beliefs or personal prayers. The inclusion of "El" in Yechieli reflects the common practice of embedding the name of God in personal names, signifying a connection to the divine and a reliance on God's presence and power. Such names were not only identifiers but also statements of faith and identity within the community.
