Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Merayah, the concept of rebellion or resistance can be linked to Greek words such as ἀντιλογία (antilogia - Strong's Greek 485), meaning "contradiction" or "opposition," which captures a similar essence of resistance. Usage: Merayah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name is associated with the idea of rebellion or resistance, reflecting the root meaning of the word. It is used to identify a specific individual within the genealogical records of the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics, familial traits, or divine messages.
