Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Asayah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of divine action or creation can be related to Greek terms like ποιέω (poieo, Strong's G4160), meaning "to make" or "to do."

Usage: Asayah means "Yahweh has made" or "Yahweh has acted." It is a theophoric name, indicating a relationship or action attributed to Yahweh.
