Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Delayah or Delayahu
Pronunciation: deh-lah-YAH or deh-lah-YAH-hoo
Phonetic Spelling: (del-aw-yaw')
Definition: Delaiah or Delaiah-hu
Meaning: Delajah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דָּלָה (dalah), meaning "to draw" or "to lift," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Delaiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, names with the theophoric element "Yah" might be translated or transliterated in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The name Delaiah or Delayahu means "Yahweh has drawn" or "Yahweh has lifted." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, indicating a relationship or acknowledgment of God's action in their lives.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often reflected personal faith, divine attributes, or significant events. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Delaiah signifies a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, which denotes a connection to Yahweh. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's role in personal and communal life.
