Berean Strong's Lexicon Eliqa: Eliqa Original Word: אֵלִיקָא Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵל (El), meaning "God," and קָא, which is less clear but may imply a form of "assembly" or "gathering." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eliqa in the Strong's Concordance. However, Greek names with the "Theo-" prefix (e.g., Theophilus) serve a similar function in denoting a connection to God. Usage: The name Eliqa is not widely attested in the Hebrew Bible, and its exact meaning is somewhat obscure. It is generally understood to be a proper name, possibly indicating a person associated with God or a divine assembly. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character, role, or divine purpose. The prefix "El" in Hebrew names typically denotes a connection to God, reflecting the theocentric worldview of the Israelites. Names like Eliqa would have been understood within the context of a society that valued divine association and identity.
