Strong's Lexicon Yismakyahu: Yismakyahu Original Word: יִסְמַכְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סָמַךְ (samak, Strong's 5564), meaning "to support" or "to uphold," combined with יָהּ (Yah, Strong's 3050), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yismakyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, Greek names that incorporate the concept of divine support or upholding might be considered thematically related. Usage: The name Yismakyahu can be translated as "Yahweh will uphold" or "Yahweh supports." It is a theophoric name, meaning it incorporates the name of God, reflecting a common practice in ancient Israel to express faith and reliance on God through personal names. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to express a parent's faith, hope, or circumstances surrounding a child's birth. The use of the divine name Yahweh in personal names was a way to invoke God's presence and blessing. The name Yismakyahu would have been a declaration of trust in God's sustaining power and protection.
