Nedaveyah
and Nedabiah
Nedabiah – a personal name meaning 'Yahweh has been generous' or 'Yahweh gives freely.' Attested as the name of a male descendant in lineage lists, the term specifically functions as a proper name in biblical texts rather than describing an abstract quality. Lexically, it integrates the notion of voluntary giving or generosity (from the root נדב) with the theophoric element naming the Israelite deity (יהּ).
