However, the concept of names bearing theophoric elements can be seen in Greek names like Theophilus (Strong's Greek 2321), meaning "friend of God."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Adayah or Adayahu means "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh is eternal." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a connection to the divine and a recognition of God's eternal nature.<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 child's birth. The use of "Yah" in names was common, indicating a theophoric element that connected the individual to the God of Israel. This practice underscored the centrality of Yahweh in the lives of the Israelites and their identity as His chosen people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5710b.htm">adah</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3050.htm">Yah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Yah has ornamented Himself," the name of a number of Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Adaiah (9).<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">עֲדָיָ֫ה(וּׅ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>has decked himself</em>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">עֲדָיָ֫הוּ</font> father of a Judaean captain 2Chronicles 23:1, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αζεια</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αδαια</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αδαιου</font> (genitive).
