Jaazaniah — a Hebrew personal name meaning 'Yahweh hears,' borne by several men in the late monarchic period.
A theophoric name meaning 'Yahweh hears,' borne by at least four different individuals in the late Judean monarchy and exile. One was a military leader who came to Gedaliah at Mizpah after the fall of Jerusalem (2 Kgs 25:23). Another was an elder caught in secret idolatry in Ezekiel's temple vision (Ezek 8:11). A Rechabite leader bears the name in Jeremiah 35:3, and a corrupt civic leader appears in Ezekiel 11:1. The name is transliterated consistently across languages — 'Jaazaniah' in English and Spanish, with minor variations in French and German.
