Strong's Lexicon Yeqamyah: Jekamiah Original Word: יְקַמְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קוּם (qum, meaning "to rise" or "to stand") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yeqamyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God raising or establishing is reflected in Greek terms like ἀνίστημι (anistēmi, Strong's Greek 450), meaning "to raise up." Usage: The name Yeqamyah means "Yahweh raises" or "Yahweh establishes." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying the belief in God's power to elevate or establish individuals according to His divine will. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character or hoped-for destiny of a person, as well as to honor God. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Yeqamyah indicates a theophoric element, which was common in Hebrew names, reflecting the centrality of Yahweh in the life and identity of the Israelites.
