Strong's Lexicon Yizziyyah: Yizziyah Original Word: יִזִּיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָזַז (yazaz), meaning "to be firm" or "to be strong," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yizziyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God strengthening or being firm is reflected in Greek terms like ἐνδυναμόω (endunamoō, Strong's G1743), meaning "to empower" or "to strengthen." Usage: Yizziyah means "Yahweh strengthens" or "Yahweh is firm." It is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the common practice of incorporating the divine name into personal names to signify a relationship with God or a divine attribute. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to express a parent's hope for their child or to reflect a significant event or characteristic. The use of the divine name Yahweh in personal names was a way to honor God and acknowledge His role in the individual's life. This practice was prevalent in the post-exilic period when the Jewish community sought to reaffirm their identity and faith in Yahweh.
