Eliud (God-of-majesty)
| Root | Ἐλιούδ (Elioúd) |
| Core Meanings | proper name; God of majesty; God is splendor |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "God of majesty" or "God is splendor"; used as an Israelite ancestral name in genealogical contexts. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a theophoric name embedded in Messiah’s genealogy (Matthew 1), it reflects Israel’s practice of embedding declarations about God’s character—here His majesty or splendor—within personal names, reinforcing covenant identity and divine glory across generations. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular, indeclinable; attested in nominative masculine singular (subject form) and accusative masculine singular (direct object form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from Hebrew elements ʾEl (God) and hôd (majesty, splendor), so "God-of-majesty" preserves the underlying theophoric meaning. As a masculine singular proper noun appearing in nominative and accusative forms, the English rendering retains the personal name while expressing its root sense in apposition. |
