Strong's Lexicon Yoshavyah: Yoshavyah Original Word: יוֹשַׁוְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָשַׁב (yashav), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yoshavyah, the concept of God dwelling among His people is echoed in the New Testament, such as in the name Emmanuel (Strong's Greek 1694), meaning "God with us." Usage: The name Yoshavyah can be understood to mean "Yahweh dwells" or "Yahweh is seated." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or attribute associated with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The use of the divine name within personal names was common, reflecting the centrality of Yahweh in the life and identity of the Israelites. Names like Yoshavyah would have been a reminder of God's presence and sovereignty.
