Strong's Lexicon Yekolyah or Yekolyahu or Yekileyah: Jecoliah or Jecoliah of Jerusalem Original Word: יְכָלְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָכֹל (yakol), meaning "to be able" or "to prevail," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yekolyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name specific to the Old Testament. Usage: The name Yekolyah means "Yahweh is able" or "Yahweh prevails." It is used as a proper name for a female figure in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name indicates a theophoric element, signifying a connection to the divine name of God, Yahweh. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's sovereignty and power in personal and communal life.
