Yahweh-has-been-gracious
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric), formed from יוֹ + חנן in a verbal perfect sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the shortened divine element יוֹ (Yahweh) with the root חנן (“to be gracious”), forming a declarative statement that Yahweh has shown grace. Rendering it as a verbal clause preserves the root meaning and the theophoric structure of the proper name. |
