450. Elyada
Strong's Lexicon
Elyada: Elyada

Original Word: אֶלְיָדָע
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Elyada`
Pronunciation: el-yah-DAH
Phonetic Spelling: (el-yaw-daw')
Definition: Elyada
Meaning: Eljada

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יָדַע (yada, meaning "to know" or "to be known").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elyada in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of God's knowledge and omniscience is reflected in Greek terms like γινώσκω (ginōskō, Strong's Greek 1097), meaning "to know."

Usage: The name Elyada means "God knows" or "God has known." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's omniscience and intimate knowledge of individuals.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character or attributes of God, or to commemorate significant events or divine interventions. The name Elyada reflects a deep theological understanding of God's omniscience, a central tenet of Israelite faith. It underscores the belief that God is intimately aware of human affairs and is actively involved in the lives of His people.
