Hodiah (Hodijah); a personal name meaning 'my splendor is Yah,' borne by several post-exilic figures.
A theophoric name meaning 'my splendor is Yah,' carried by at least three distinct individuals in the post-exilic community. One is a man of Judah mentioned in the genealogies (1 Chr 4:19). Two others are Levites who helped the people understand the Law during Ezra's public reading (Neh 10:10, 13), and a chief of the people who sealed the covenant (Neh 10:18). All major translations transliterate the name, with English giving 'Hodiah' or 'Hodijah' and Spanish 'Hodías.'

1. sense 1 — Hodiah (also Hodijah) — a proper name meaning 'my splendor is Yah,' borne by several post-exilic figures. In 1 Chr 4:19, Hodiah appears in a Judahite genealogy. In Neh 10:10 and 10:13, Levites named Hodiah seal the covenant alongside Nehemiah, and in Neh 10:18, a chief of the people by the same name does likewise. The name's theophoric element (-yah) ties it to Israel's worship tradition. English renders it 'Hodiah' or 'Hodijah,' Spanish gives 'Hodías' or 'Hodiya,' while French and German typically transliterate directly from the Hebrew הוֹדִיָּה. 4×
