Strong's Lexicon Qolayah: Kolaiah Original Word: קוֹלָיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Qowlayah Pronunciation: koh-lah-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (ko-law-yaw') Definition: Kolaiah Meaning: Kolajah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קוֹל (qol), meaning "voice" or "sound," combined with יָה (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Kolaiah in the Septuagint or the New Testament. However, the concept of "voice" or "speaking" related to divine communication can be linked to Greek words like φωνή (phonē, Strong's G5456), meaning "voice" or "sound." Usage: The name Kolaiah means "voice of Yahweh" or "Yahweh has spoken." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a connection to divine communication or proclamation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character, role, or divine purpose. The inclusion of "Yah" in a name reflects a theophoric element, indicating a relationship with or dedication to Yahweh. Names like Kolaiah would have been seen as a testament to the individual's or family's faith and reliance on God.
