and Yah-has-prevailed
| Root | שרה (ś-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | to strive, contend, prevail, rule, exercise authority |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "Yah has prevailed" or "Yah rules"; borne by multiple Israelite figures in various historical contexts. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a theophoric name, it affirms the prevailing power and sovereign rule of Yah, reflecting the biblical theme that victory and authority belong to YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (Np) with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). The form is a theophoric personal name incorporating יה (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שְׂרָיָה combines the root שרה (to strive or prevail) with the theophoric element יה (Yah). Rendering it as "Yah-has-prevailed" preserves the verbal sense of prevailing inherent in the root while reflecting the singular masculine proper noun form, with the prefixed conjunction וּ meaning "and." |
