Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Azanyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name.

Usage: The name Azanyah means "Yahweh has heard" or "Yahweh listens." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or acknowledgment of God's attentiveness to His people.
