Usage: Kelaiah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name is associated with an individual who returned from the Babylonian exile. The meaning of the name can be interpreted as "Jehovah has lightened" or "Yahweh has made light." Cultural and Historical Background: The name Kelaiah appears in the context of the post-exilic period, a time when the Jewish people were returning to Jerusalem and Judah from Babylonian captivity.

Names during this period often reflected a renewed focus on Yahweh and His covenant with Israel.
