Berean Strong's Lexicon Gemaryah or Gemaryahu: Gemariah or Gemariahu Original Word: גְּמַרְיָה or גְּמַרְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּמַר (gamar), meaning "to complete" or "to finish," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Gemaryah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. Usage: The name Gemaryah or Gemaryahu means "Yahweh has completed" or "Yahweh has perfected." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of the individual's character, destiny, or the parents' faith. The inclusion of "Yah" in Gemaryah's name indicates a theophoric element, signifying a connection to the God of Israel. This reflects the cultural practice of embedding divine names within personal names to express faith and reliance on God.
