Strong's Lexicon Yeriyyah or Yeriyyahu: Jeriah or Jeriah-hu Original Word: יְרִיָּה / יְרִיָּהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw" or "to cast," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yeriyyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine teaching or instruction can be related to Greek words like διδάσκω (didaskō - Strong's Greek 1321), meaning "to teach." Usage: The name Yeriyyah or Yeriyyahu means "Yahweh has taught" or "Yahweh will throw/cast." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or action attributed to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Yeriyyah signifies a connection to the covenant God of Israel, Yahweh. Such names were common among the Israelites, reflecting their devotion and reliance on God's guidance and provision.
