Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Amashsay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of burden-bearing can be related to Greek terms like βάρος (baros, Strong's G922), meaning "weight" or "burden."

Usage: The name Amashsay means "burdensome" or "the burden is lifted." It is used as a proper name for a male individual in the Hebrew Bible. The name reflects a sense of responsibility or the lifting of a burden, which can be seen in the context of the character's role or actions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the circumstances of birth, prophetic insights, or parental hopes. The name Amashsay, with its connotations of burden and relief, might suggest a person who plays a role in carrying or alleviating burdens, either physically or spiritually. This reflects the broader cultural understanding of names as indicative of character or destiny.
