Strong's Lexicon Hodavyah: Hodaviah Original Word: הוֹדַוְיָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: הוֹד (hod, meaning "splendor" or "majesty") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hodavyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, Greek names that incorporate "Theos" (God) might carry a similar thematic element of divine acknowledgment. Usage: The name Hodavyah means "The splendor of Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my splendor." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's majesty and glory. 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 names was common, indicating a connection to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Names like Hodavyah would have been a testament to the family's devotion and acknowledgment of God's greatness.
