Yehoyada
and-Jehoiada
Yehoyadaʻ is a personal name meaning 'Yahweh has known' or 'Yahweh knows.' As a proper noun, it references several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a prominent priest during the reign of Joash in the kingdom of Judah. The name expresses the theological affirmation that Yahweh is the one who truly knows or recognizes, and name-bearers would be understood as 'known by Yahweh.' The semantic range is primarily limited to a personal name and does not function as a common noun or verb in biblical usage.
