Berean Strong's Lexicon Yiriyyah or Yiriyyayh: Yiriah or Yirijah Original Word: יִרְאִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרֵא (yare), meaning "to fear" or "to revere," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yiriyyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: The name Yiriyyah means "Yahweh sees" or "Yahweh is feared." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is under the watchful eye of God or who reveres God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Yiriyyah indicates a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, which reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's presence and sovereignty in daily life.
