Strong's Lexicon Shekanyah or Shekanyahu: Shecaniah or Shechaniah Original Word: שְׁכַנְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁכַן (shakan), meaning "to dwell" or "to reside," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shekanyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God's dwelling is related to Greek terms such as σκηνόω (skēnoō, Strong's G4637), meaning "to dwell" or "to tabernacle." Usage: The name Shekanyah or Shekanyahu means "Yahweh has dwelt" or "Yahweh dwells." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a connection to the divine presence and favor of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The name Shekanyah, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, suggests a deep reverence for God and a recognition of His presence among His people. This name would have been a reminder of God's covenant relationship with Israel and His promise to dwell among them.
