Joiada (Jehoiada); a personal name meaning 'the LORD knows'
A theophoric personal name compounding Yahweh (yehô) with the root yāda' ('to know'), yielding 'the LORD knows.' In Nehemiah, this name refers primarily to priestly figures: Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest (Neh 13:28), and members of the postexilic priestly lineage recorded in genealogical lists (Neh 12:10-11, 22). The form Yôyādā' is a shortened variant of the fuller Yehôyādā'. All major translations — English 'Joiada,' Spanish 'Joiadá,' French 'Jojada' — preserve the theophoric element consistently.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper name borne by postexilic priestly figures in Nehemiah. Joiada appears as son of Eliashib in the high-priestly succession (Neh 12:10-11) and as father of one who married Sanballat's daughter (Neh 13:28). The name also occurs in genealogical and covenant lists (Neh 3:6; 12:22). Translations across languages uniformly transliterate: 'Joiada' (English/Spanish), 'Jojada' (French/German). 5×
