Elioenai
Elioenai is a name meaning "My eyes are toward God" or "God is my eyes." This name reflects a deep reliance on God, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament. Elioenai is also mentioned in other genealogies, such as in 1 Chronicles 7:8 and 1 Chronicles 26:3, indicating the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite culture. The name suggests a focus on divine guidance and providence, which is a recurring theme in the lives of the Israelites.

Jaakobah
Jaakobah is a name that appears only in this passage, and its meaning is uncertain. It may be related to the name Jacob, which means "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." The connection to Jacob, the patriarch, could imply a continuation of the covenant promises made to the forefathers of Israel. This highlights the importance of names and their meanings in Hebrew culture, often reflecting character or destiny.

Jeshohaiah
Jeshohaiah means "Yahweh humbles" or "Yahweh is salvation." This name underscores the belief in God's sovereignty and His role in delivering His people. The concept of salvation is central to the biblical narrative, pointing forward to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ. The name serves as a reminder of God's power to humble and save, themes that resonate throughout the scriptures.

Asaiah
Asaiah means "Yahweh has made" or "Yahweh has wrought." This name emphasizes God's creative power and His active role in the lives of His people. Asaiah is also mentioned in 2 Kings 22:12, where he serves as a servant of King Josiah, indicating the name's association with faithful service and dedication to God's purposes. The creative aspect of God is a foundational belief, seen from Genesis through the New Testament.

Adiel
Adiel means "God is my witness" or "ornament of God." This name reflects the idea of living a life that bears witness to God's presence and glory. The concept of God as a witness is significant in the context of covenants and oaths, where God is called upon to witness agreements and promises. This name suggests a life lived in accountability to God, a theme that is echoed in the teachings of Jesus about integrity and truthfulness.

Jesimiel
Jesimiel means "God sets" or "God establishes." This name highlights God's role in establishing His people and His plans. The idea of God setting or establishing is seen in the promises to Abraham about establishing a great nation and is fulfilled in the establishment of the church in the New Testament. It underscores the belief in God's sovereignty and His ability to bring His purposes to fruition.

Benaiah
Benaiah means "Yahweh builds" or "Yahweh has built." Benaiah is a more frequently mentioned name in the Bible, notably as one of David's mighty warriors (2 Samuel 23:20). The name signifies strength and the idea of God as a builder, both of physical structures like the temple and of spiritual lives. This reflects the biblical theme of God as the ultimate architect, building His kingdom and His people, a theme that finds its fulfillment in the New Testament with the building of the church.
