Strong's Lexicon Yoach: Joah Original Word: יוֹאָח Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh) and אָח (ach, meaning "brother"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Joah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of divine kinship can be related to Greek terms that denote familial relationships with God, such as "adelphos" (brother). Usage: The name "Yoach" or "Joah" means "Yahweh is brother" or "Yahweh is kin." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a relationship with God akin to that of a brother, emphasizing closeness and divine kinship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often reflected personal faith, divine attributes, or familial connections. The use of "Yah" in names was common, indicating a theophoric element that connected the individual to the God of Israel. Names like Joah would have been a testament to the individual's or family's devotion to Yahweh.
