Strong's Lexicon gedaberayya: Gedaberayya Original Word: גְּדָבָר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּדַל (gadal, meaning "to be great") and דָּבַר (dabar, meaning "to speak"), combined with יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Gedaberayya, the concept of God's greatness and His word can be related to Greek terms like μέγας (megas, Strong's G3173, meaning "great") and λόγος (logos, Strong's G3056, meaning "word"). Usage: The name Gedaberayya can be understood to mean "Yahweh has spoken greatly" or "Yahweh is a great speaker." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a person whose life or mission is closely associated with the proclamation or greatness of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or descriptive of a person's character or destiny. The use of the divine name Yahweh in personal names was common, reflecting the individual's relationship with God or the parents' devotion. Names like Gedaberayya would have been a reminder of God's greatness and His active role in the lives of His people.
