Yah is strength
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric sentence-name) built from עז + יה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines עז (strength, might) with the theophoric element יה (Yah), forming a sentence-name meaning 'Yah is strength' or 'my strength is Yah.' Rendering it as 'Yah is strength' preserves the root meaning and reflects its structure as a theophoric proper name. |
