Ataleyah
and Athaliah
A proper name referring primarily to a royal Israelite woman: Athaliah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel and later queen-mother and ruler in Jerusalem during the ninth century BCE. The name is also borne by two male Israelites in post-exilic genealogies. The name itself likely conveys a theological affirmation, with possible meanings including 'Yahweh has constrained/protected' or 'Yahweh is exalted,' reflecting a compound of a verbal form and the divine element 'Yah.'

SIBI-P1 Translation H6271-03
Yah is exalted
| Morphological Notes | Proper name (noun, personal name); singular; theophoric compound with יה (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the rare root עתל (possibly "to exalt" or "to restrain") with the theophoric element יה (Yah). Rendering it as "Yah is exalted" preserves the root’s likely exaltation sense while reflecting the declarative, theophoric structure of the proper name. |
