Strong's Lexicon Uwriyah: Uriah Original Word: איּרִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אוּר (ur, meaning "light" or "flame") 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 Uriah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ουρίας (Ourias). Usage: The name "Uriah" means "Yahweh is my light" or "flame of Yahweh." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably referring to Uriah the Hittite, a valiant warrior in King David's army. Cultural and Historical Background: Uriah the Hittite was one of King David's "mighty men," a group of elite warriors. Despite being a Hittite, Uriah was fully integrated into Israelite society and was a devoted servant of King David. His account is most famously associated with the narrative of David and Bathsheba, where Uriah's integrity and loyalty starkly contrast with David's moral failure.
