Strong's Lexicon Moadyah: Moadiah Original Word: מוֹעַדְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מוֹעֵד (moed), meaning "appointed time" or "meeting," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Moadyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of "appointed time" or "assembly" can be related to Greek terms like καιρός (kairos, G2540) meaning "appointed time" or ἐκκλησία (ekklesia, G1577) meaning "assembly" or "church." Usage: Moadyah means "Yahweh is my assembly" or "Yahweh is my appointed time." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or dedication to God. This name reflects a sense of divine purpose or calling, emphasizing the importance of God's timing and presence in one's life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the parents' faith and hopes for their child. The inclusion of Yahweh in a name was a declaration of faith and identity, signifying the individual's or family's devotion to God. The root "moed" is also associated with sacred assemblies and festivals, which were central to Israelite worship and community life. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as Maadyah, q.v.
