SIBI-P1 H4992-01
Gift-of-Yah
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; likely a shortened form of מַתִּתְיָה (Mattithiah). The form is nominal, built from מַתָּת (gift) derived from נתן, with an abbreviated divine element. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root נתן ("to give") through the noun מַתָּת ("gift"), with a shortened theophoric element referring to Yah (YHWH). As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it denotes one male individual whose name embodies the meaning "Gift-of-Yah," preserving both the root sense and singular personal form. |
