Yahweh‑is‑Brother
| Root | אח (ʾ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | brother, kinship, fraternity, close relation |
| Semantic Range | Personal name expressing kinship with Yahweh; conveys ideas of divine closeness, covenantal fraternity, or familial association with God. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a theophoric name, it reflects the cultural and theological practice of embedding Yahweh’s name within personal names, expressing covenant identity and the intimate, familial dimension of Israel’s relationship with Yahweh. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). A theophoric compound combining a shortened form of the divine name (יהו) with אח (“brother”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name יוֹאָח is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp) formed from יהו (Yahweh) and אח (brother). Rendering it as “Yahweh‑is‑Brother” preserves the root meaning of אח (brother/kin) and reflects its function as a singular masculine personal name. |
