Haggiah (meaning 'feast of Yahweh'), a Levite descended from Merari
A theophoric personal name meaning 'feast of Yahweh,' belonging to a Levite of the Merarite line. Haggiah was a son of Shimea in the temple genealogies preserved in Chronicles.

Such names embedded theology into daily life—every time Haggiah was called, his community was reminded of joyful worship before the Lord.
