Strong's Lexicon Achiyyah: Ahijah Original Word: אֲחִיָּה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Achiyah Pronunciation: ah-khee-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (akh-ee-yaw) Definition: Ahijah Meaning: Achijah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָח (ach, meaning "brother") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Ahijah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of a "brother" or familial relationship can be found in Greek words like ἀδελφός (adelphos, Strong's G80). Usage: The name "Ahijah" means "brother of Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my brother." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, often indicating a close relationship with God or a divine calling. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of one's relationship with God or their role within the community. The name Ahijah, incorporating the divine name Yah, suggests a person dedicated to or associated with the worship of Yahweh. This reflects the theocentric culture of ancient Israel, where names were not only identifiers but also conveyed theological and familial connections.
