SILEX Entry
Definition
Personal name Eliakeím; used for an Israelite individual, meaning 'God establishes' or 'God raises up.' In Greek texts, refers specifically to persons bearing this name, often as a transliteration from Hebrew. The semantic range is limited to individuals named Eliakim in biblical genealogical or narrative contexts.
Semantic Range
personal name Eliakim, individual Israelite name, specifically a descendant of David or priestly figure; does not function as a common noun or verb
Root / Etymology
From Hebrew אֶלְיָקִים (‘Elyāqîm), composed of אֵל (El, 'God') and יָקִים (yaqîm, 'he establishes/raises up'). The Greek Ἐλιακείμ is a direct transliteration of the Hebrew personal name.
Historical & Contextual Notes
In the Septuagint and New Testament, Ἐλιακείμ appears as a proper noun, always referring to a specific Israelite individual, such as a descendant of King David or a priest. The meaning is preserved from its Hebrew origin, expressing confidence in divine support or establishment. The rendering 'Eliakim' in most English Bibles follows tradition but does not reflect any Greek-specific meaning beyond the borrowed name. No significant semantic development occurs in Greek; its use is always onomastic (pertaining to personal names). The name does not gain any new connotations or generalizations in Greek; it is restricted to the individuals so named.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
of Hebrew origin (אֶלְיָקִים); Eliakim, an Israelite:--Eliakim.
