Ataleyah
Athaliah
A proper name referring primarily to a royal Israelite woman: Athaliah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel and later queen-mother and ruler in Jerusalem during the ninth century BCE. The name is also borne by two male Israelites in post-exilic genealogies. The name itself likely conveys a theological affirmation, with possible meanings including 'Yahweh has constrained/protected' or 'Yahweh is exalted,' reflecting a compound of a verbal form and the divine element 'Yah.'
