Strong's Lexicon
Yizrachyah: Yizrachiah

Original Word: יִזְרַחְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yizrachyah
Pronunciation: yiz-rakh-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yiz-rakh-yaw')
Definition: Yizrachiah
Meaning: Jizrachjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָרַח (zarach), meaning "to rise" or "to shine," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yizrachyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God's light and shining presence can be related to Greek words like φῶς (phos, Strong's G5457), meaning "light."

Usage: The name Yizrachyah means "Yahweh will shine" or "Yahweh shines forth." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person whose life is illuminated by the presence and favor of God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the parents' faith and hopes for their child. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Yizrachyah indicates a strong connection to the worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel. This reflects the cultural importance of the divine name and the belief in God's active role in the lives of His people.
