It means "Yahweh waits" or "Yahweh is patient." The name reflects a theological understanding of God's character as one who is patient and hopeful.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. The inclusion of "Yah" in the name indicates a theophoric element, signifying a connection to the God of Israel. Names like Chakalyah would have been a reminder of God's attributes and presence in the lives of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2444.htm">Chakilah</a> and from <a href="/hebrew/3050.htm">Yah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "wait for Yah," father of Nehemiah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hacaliah (2).<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">חֲכַלְיָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (meaning dubious;
