SIBI-P1 H2396-02

Yah-Strengthens

Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (HNp). Compound theophoric name formed from חזק (likely in a verbal or possessive form, "has strengthened" or "my strength") plus the divine element יהו (Yah). Variants include longer and prefixed forms (e.g., יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ).
Rendering RationaleThe name combines the root חזק (to be strong, to strengthen) with the theophoric element יהו (Yah). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered as a declarative name meaning "Yah-Strengthens," preserving both the root sense of strengthening and the personal, masculine singular form.
