Strong's Lexicon Azazyahu: Azazyahu Original Word: עֲזַזְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots עָזַז (azaz, meaning "to be strong") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Azazyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine strength and reliance on God is echoed in Greek terms like ἰσχύς (ischys, meaning "strength") and θεός (theos, meaning "God"). Usage: The name Azazyahu means "Yahweh is strong" or "Yahweh has strengthened." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, which was common in ancient Israelite culture to express faith and reliance on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often reflected personal faith, divine attributes, or significant events. The use of theophoric elements like "Yah" in names was a way to honor God and acknowledge His role in the individual's life. Names such as Azazyahu would have been a testament to the belief in God's strength and protection. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom azaz and Yah Definition "Yah is mighty," three Isr.
