Strong's Lexicon Anayah: Anayah Original Word: עֲנָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root ענה (anah), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Anayah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God answering or responding can be related to Greek terms like ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai - G611), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." Usage: Anayah is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Yahweh has answered" or "Yahweh has responded." It reflects a sense of divine response or intervention, often associated with prayer or supplication. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, parental hopes, or divine attributes. The name Anayah, incorporating the divine name Yah (a shortened form of Yahweh), suggests a recognition of God's active presence and responsiveness in the life of the individual or family. This reflects the broader Israelite belief in a personal and covenantal relationship with God, who hears and answers the prayers of His people.
