Yahweh-is-Strong

| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root אמצ ('to be strong, to strengthen') with the theophoric element יהו ('Yahweh'), forming a declarative theophoric proper name. "Yahweh-is-Strong" preserves the root’s core sense of strength while reflecting its structure as a personal name. |
