Strong's Lexicon Adayah or Adayahu: Adayah or Adayahu Original Word: עֲדָיָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַד (ad) meaning "eternal" or "until" and יָהּ (Yah) a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Adayah or Adayahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of names bearing theophoric elements can be seen in Greek names like Theophilus (Strong's Greek 2321), meaning "friend of God." Usage: The name Adayah or Adayahu means "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh is eternal." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a connection to the divine and a recognition of God's eternal nature. 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 use of "Yah" in names was common, indicating a theophoric element that connected the individual to the God of Israel. This practice underscored the centrality of Yahweh in the lives of the Israelites and their identity as His chosen people.
