Strong's Lexicon Atsalyahu: Atsalyahu Original Word: אֲצַלְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots אֲצַל (atsal, meaning "to reserve" or "to withdraw") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Atsalyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, Greek names with theophoric elements like Θεόδωρος (Theodoros, meaning "gift of God") reflect a similar cultural practice of incorporating divine elements into personal names. Usage: Atsalyahu means "Yahweh has reserved" or "Yahweh has withdrawn." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or action attributed to God. Such names were common in ancient Israel, reflecting the cultural and religious significance of invoking God's name in personal identity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to express a particular hope, divine intervention, or a characteristic of God. The use of Yahweh in names signifies the importance of the covenant relationship between God and His people. Names like Atsalyahu would remind the bearer and those around them of God's active role in their lives and history.
