Berean Strong's Lexicon Dodavahu: Dodavahu Original Word: דּוֹדָוָהוּ Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Dodavahu Pronunciation: doh-dah-vah-HOO Phonetic Spelling: (do-daw-vaw'-hoo) Definition: Dodavahu Meaning: Dodavah Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Dodavahu, as it is a unique Hebrew theophoric name. However, the concept of being "beloved" is captured in Greek by the word ἀγαπητός (agapētos), Strong's Greek #27, often used in the New Testament to describe those beloved by God. Usage: Dodavahu means "Beloved of Yahweh" or "Love of Yahweh." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, indicating a relationship or attribute associated with God. In the Bible, it is used as a personal name. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of theophoric names was common in ancient Israel, reflecting the deep spiritual and cultural connection the people had with their God. Names often conveyed a message or a prayer, expressing the parents' faith or hope for their child. Dodavahu, with its meaning "Beloved of Yahweh," would have been a name expressing a special relationship with God, possibly indicating the parents' devotion or a prophetic hope for the child's life.
