Berean Strong's Lexicon Yemimah: Jemimah Original Word: יְמִימָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south," often associated with direction or favor. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yemimah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of a "dove" can be related to the Greek word περιστερά (peristera, Strong's Greek 4058), which means "dove." Usage: Yemimah is a personal name meaning "dove" or "day." It is used in the context of a proper noun, specifically as a name given to one of Job's daughters. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often given with significant meanings, reflecting characteristics, hopes, or circumstances surrounding a person's birth. The name Yemimah, meaning "dove," could symbolize peace, beauty, or purity. Doves were considered symbols of peace and were often associated with the Holy Spirit in later Christian symbolism. The name is significant in the context of Job's restoration, as it reflects a period of peace and blessing after his trials.
