Strong's Lexicon Yigdalyahu: Yigdalyahu Original Word: יִגְדַּלְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּדַל (gadal, Strong's 1431), meaning "to grow" or "to become great," combined with יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, Strong's 3050), meaning "the LORD." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yigdalyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of magnifying or glorifying God is present in Greek terms like δοξάζω (doxazo, Strong's 1392), meaning "to glorify." Usage: The name Yigdalyahu means "Yahweh is great" or "May Yahweh be magnified." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, which was common in ancient Israelite culture to express devotion and attribute greatness to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were used to express theological beliefs or prayers. The use of the divine name Yahweh in personal names reflects the centrality of God in the lives of the Israelites. Such names were a testament to the faith and religious identity of the people, often serving as a reminder of God's attributes and promises.
