Strong's Lexicon Mlatyah: Mlatyah Original Word: מְלַטְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מָלַט (malat), meaning "to escape" or "to deliver," 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 Mlatyah, the concept of deliverance is echoed in the Greek word σωτηρία (soteria, Strong's G4991), meaning "salvation" or "deliverance." Usage: Mlatyah means "Yahweh has delivered" or "Yahweh is deliverance." It is a name that reflects trust in God's ability to save and deliver His people from peril. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of the circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name Mlatyah indicates a strong connection to the worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel. This name would have been a reminder of God's faithfulness and power to deliver His people, a theme prevalent throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
