Yah has made whole
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (theophoric), formed from שׁלם + יָהּ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root שׁלם (to be whole, at peace, to repay) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), yielding a verbal-theological statement. "Yah has made whole" preserves the root sense of wholeness/restoration and reflects the implied perfective action embedded in the name form. |
