Strong's Lexicon Maazyah or Maazyahu: Maaziah or Maaziah Original Word: מַעַזְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Ma`azyah Pronunciation: mah-az-YAH or mah-az-YAH-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (mah-az-yaw') Definition: Maaziah or Maaziah Meaning: Maazjah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָזַז (azaz), meaning "to be strong" or "to prevail," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Maazyah or Maazyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God as a refuge or strength is echoed in Greek terms like σῴζω (sózó, Strong's G4982) meaning "to save" or "to preserve." Usage: The name Maazyah or Maazyahu means "Yahweh is a refuge" or "Yahweh is my strength." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person whose identity and strength are rooted in their relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the individual's character, role, or divine purpose. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name indicates a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, which reflects the cultural emphasis on the relationship with Yahweh. This name would have been a reminder of God's protection and strength in the life of the individual and the community.
