Strong's Lexicon Vanyah: Vaniah Original Word: וַנְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Vanyah Pronunciation: vahn-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (van-yaw') Definition: Vanjah Meaning: "Vanjah" means "Yahweh is gracious" or "Yahweh is merciful." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of יְהוָה (YHWH), meaning "Yahweh" or "the LORD." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Vanjah, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "grace" or "mercy" associated with the name can be related to Greek terms such as χάρις (charis, Strong's Greek 5485), meaning "grace" or "favor." Usage: Vanjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • Vanjah is a name found in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community in the Book of Nehemiah. Specifically, Vanjah is listed among the descendants of the people who returned from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in Nehemiah 11:9, where it is mentioned in the context of the leaders of the people residing in Jerusalem. The inclusion of Vanjah in this list highlights the restoration of the community and the reestablishment of Jerusalem as a center of worship and governance. The name itself, meaning "Yahweh is gracious," reflects the theological emphasis on God's mercy and favor towards His people, especially in the context of their return from exile and the rebuilding of their society.
