SIBI-P1 H477-01
My-God-Is-Salvation (male personal name)
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). The form is a theophoric compound: אֵלִי ("my God") + a shortened form of יְשׁוּעַ ("salvation"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אֱלִישָׁע combines אֵלִי ("my God") with the root ישׁע ("to save, deliver"), yielding the meaning "My God is salvation." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves its function as a male personal name while making explicit the salvific sense of the root ישׁע embedded in the name. |
