However, the concept of divine light and illumination can be related to Greek words like φῶς (phos, Strong's G5457), meaning "light."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Zerachiah means "Yahweh has shone" or "Yahweh's light." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yah, indicating a relationship or attribute of God. The name suggests a divine illumination or blessing, reflecting the belief in God's active presence and guidance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The use of theophoric elements like "Yah" in names was common, signifying devotion to or acknowledgment of God's role in one's life. Zerachiah, as a name, would have been a reminder of God's light and presence, a theme prevalent in Hebrew thought and scripture.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2224.htm">zarach</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3050.htm">Yah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Yah has risen," two Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zerahiah (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">זְרַחְיָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>hath risen</em>, or <em>shined</em>;
