Strong's Lexicon Athayah: Athayah Original Word: עֲתָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָתָה (athah), meaning "to come" or "to arrive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Athayah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name specific to the Old Testament context. Usage: Athayah is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is typically understood to mean "Yahweh has come" or "Yahweh has arrived," reflecting a theophoric element that attributes an action or characteristic to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The use of theophoric names, which include the name of God (in this case, Yahweh), was common and served to honor God or express a theological truth. Athayah, as a name, would have been a declaration of faith in God's presence and intervention. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition an Isr.
