Strong's Lexicon Yamlek: Yamlek Original Word: יַמְלֵךְ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מָלַךְ (malak), meaning "to reign" or "to be king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yamlek, the concept of kingship is paralleled in the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileus), Strong's Greek #935, meaning "king." Usage: The name Yamlek means "God will reign" or "may God be king." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name, suggesting a recognition of God's sovereignty and kingship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the parents' faith and hopes. The use of the root מָלַךְ (malak) in names indicates a cultural emphasis on divine kingship and authority. Theophoric names were common, reflecting the Israelites' covenant relationship with Yahweh and their acknowledgment of His rule over their lives and nation.
