Strong's Lexicon Berekyah or Berekyahu: Berechiah or Berechiah Original Word: בֶּרֶכְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Berekyah Pronunciation: beh-rek-YAH or beh-rek-YAH-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (beh-rek-yaw') Definition: Berechiah or Berechiah Meaning: Berekjah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words בָּרַךְ (barak, meaning "to bless") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Berekyah or Berekyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the name Zechariah (Ζαχαρίας, Zacharias) in the New Testament, which means "Yahweh remembers," shares a similar theophoric element. Usage: The name Berekyah or Berekyahu means "Yahweh blesses" or "blessed by Yahweh." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is blessed by God or who acknowledges God's blessings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The use of "Yah" in the name indicates a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, which incorporates the name of God, Yahweh. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's presence and blessing in one's life.
