Berean Strong's Lexicon Mattanyah or Mattanyahu: Mattaniah or Mattanyahu Original Word: מַתַּנְיָה or מַתַּנְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words מַתָּן (mattan, meaning "gift") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mattanyah or Mattanyahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of a "gift of God" can be related to Greek names like Theodoros (Θεόδωρος), which means "gift of God." Usage: The name Mattanyah or Mattanyahu means "Gift of Yahweh" or "Gift of the LORD." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a person dedicated to or blessed by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often theophoric, incorporating the name of God to reflect religious devotion or divine blessing. The name Mattanyah reflects the cultural practice of acknowledging God's sovereignty and benevolence in personal identity. It was common for individuals to bear names that expressed gratitude or recognition of God's role in their lives.
