3359. Yeqamyah
Strong's Lexicon
Yeqamyah: Jekamiah

Original Word: יְקַמְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yeqamyah
Pronunciation: yeh-kam-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (yek-am-yaw')
Definition: Jekamiah
Meaning: Jekamjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קוּם (qum, meaning "to rise" or "to stand") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yeqamyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God raising or establishing is reflected in Greek terms like ἀνίστημι (anistēmi, Strong's Greek 450), meaning "to raise up."

Usage: The name Yeqamyah means "Yahweh raises" or "Yahweh establishes." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying the belief in God's power to elevate or establish individuals according to His divine will.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character or hoped-for destiny of a person, as well as to honor God. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Yeqamyah indicates a theophoric element, which was common in Hebrew names, reflecting the centrality of Yahweh in the life and identity of the Israelites.
