Strong's Lexicon Serayah or Serayahu: Seraiah Original Word: שְׂרָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots שָׂר (sar, meaning "prince" or "ruler") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Seraiah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek transliteration in the Septuagint may appear as Σεραΐας (Seraias). Usage: The name Seraiah means "Yahweh is ruler" or "Prince of Yahweh." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, often denoting a person of high status or priestly lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of one's heritage, faith, or role in society. The name Seraiah, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, suggests a strong connection to the worship and service of God. Individuals named Seraiah were often associated with the priesthood or held positions of authority, reflecting the theocratic nature of Israelite society where religious and civil duties were intertwined.
