Strong's Lexicon Hoshayah: Hoshayah Original Word: הוֹשִׁעִיה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָשַׁע (yasha), meaning "to save" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Hoshayah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the concept of salvation is closely related to the Greek word σωτηρία (soteria, Strong's G4991), meaning "salvation" or "deliverance." Usage: The name Hoshayah means "Yahweh has saved" or "salvation of Yahweh." It is used as a proper name for individuals in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is associated with divine deliverance or salvation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the individual's character or God's actions. The name Hoshayah, emphasizing salvation, would have been a reminder of God's deliverance and faithfulness to His people. It reflects the cultural importance of names in conveying theological truths and personal identity within the community of Israel.
