My-Father-is-Yah
| Root | אב יה (ʾ-b; y-h) |
| Core Meanings | father, paternal source, ancestor; Yah (short form of YHWH) |
| Semantic Range | Personal name borne by several Israelite men and two women; expresses filial relationship to Yah or confession that Yah is father. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name reflects Israel’s theological understanding of YHWH as Father and covenant head. As a theophoric name, it embodies personal and communal identity rooted in allegiance to Yah. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Theophoric compound: אָב (father) + 1cs suffix "-י" (my) + יָהּ (Yah). Variant form אֲבִיָּהוּ includes the fuller theophoric ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אָב (father) with the first-person singular suffix ("my father") and the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). Rendering it as "My-Father-is-Yah" preserves the possessive sense and the covenant name of יה, reflecting its function as a singular proper masculine name (HNp). |
