Berean Strong's Lexicon Hodiyyah: Hodiah Original Word: הודיה Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Hodiyyah Pronunciation: ho-dee-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (ho-dee-yaw') Definition: Hodiah Meaning: a Jewess Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָדָה (yadah), meaning "to praise" or "to give thanks." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hodiyyah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of praise and thanksgiving is captured in Greek by words such as εὐχαριστία (eucharistia, Strong's G2169) and αἴνεσις (ainesis, Strong's G133). Usage: Hodiyyah, or Hodiah, is a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "splendor of Yah" or "praise of Yahweh." It reflects a sense of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's majesty and goodness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine purpose of an individual. The name Hodiyyah, incorporating the divine name Yah (a shortened form of Yahweh), signifies a life dedicated to the praise and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. This reflects the broader cultural emphasis on the importance of names as expressions of faith and identity. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin the same as Hodiyyah, q.v.
