Semantic RangePersonal name meaning "Yah has constrained" or "Yah presses/binds"; refers to an Israelite woman and two Israelite men in the biblical text.
Conceptual SignificanceMost notably borne by Queen Athaliah of Judah, the name reflects the common Israelite practice of embedding theological confession within personal names, affirming Yah’s active, even constraining, sovereignty in human affairs.
Morphological NotesProper noun, feminine singular (HNp). The form עֲתַלְיָהוּ consists of the verbal/root element עתל with the theophoric suffix יָהוּ (Yah), a common Judahite name element.
