Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Josiah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the name appears in the Greek Septuagint as Ἰωσίας (Iōsias). Usage: The name Josiah means "Yahweh supports" or "Yahweh heals." It is used as a proper name for a king of Judah in the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: Josiah was the 16th king of Judah, reigning from approximately 640 to 609 BC. He is known for his religious reforms and efforts to restore the worship of Yahweh, as described in the books of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. Josiah became king at the age of eight after the assassination of his father, Amon. His reign is noted for the discovery of the Book of the Law in the Temple, which led to a national covenant renewal and the purging of idolatry from Judah.
