Strong's Lexicon Amasyah: Amaziah Original Word: עֲמַסְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָמַץ (amats), meaning "to be strong" or "to be courageous," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Amaziah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of divine strength can be related to Greek terms like δυνατός (dunatos, Strong's G1415), meaning "mighty" or "powerful." Usage: The name Amaziah means "Yahweh is mighty" or "Yahweh is strong." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to individuals who were recognized for their leadership roles or association with divine strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the individual's character or the circumstances surrounding their birth. The name Amaziah, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, suggests a recognition of God's power and presence in the life of the individual. This reflects the cultural emphasis on divine providence and strength in leadership.
