Yah Is Majesty
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; compound theophoric name formed from הוֹד (noun: majesty) + יָהוּ (short form of YHWH). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines הוֹד (majesty, splendor) from the root הוד with the theophoric element יָהוּ (Yah). Rendering it as "Yah Is Majesty" preserves the root sense of divine splendor and reflects the declarative structure typical of Hebrew theophoric names. |
