SIBI-P1 H2608-01

Yah Has Shown Favor

Morphological NotesMasculine singular Hebrew proper noun (HNp). Theophoric compound formed from the Qal verbal root חנן plus the divine element יָהּ. Functions as a personal name.
Rendering RationaleThe name combines the root חנן (to show favor, be gracious) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it reflects a verbal idea—understood as a Qal perfect 3ms—declaring that "Yah has shown favor," preserving both the root meaning of grace and the implied grammatical subject.
