Flame-of-Yah
| Root | אור (ʾ-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | light, flame, illumination, shining, radiance |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "flame of Yah" or "Yah is my light," associated with individuals including Uriah the Hittite and several Israelites. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name expresses covenantal devotion and identity rooted in YHWH as the source of light and life. In biblical narrative, figures named Uriah highlight themes of loyalty, righteousness, and divine justice, especially in the account of Uriah the Hittite. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Formed from אוּר (light/flame), likely with a first-person singular pronominal nuance ("my light"), plus the shortened divine name יָהּ (Yah). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אוּר ("light, flame") from the root אור with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). Rendering it as "Flame-of-Yah" preserves the root meaning of radiant light and reflects the masculine singular proper noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp). |
