Yizrachyah/Jezrahiah, personal name (Issacharite ancestor, overseer of singers)
A Hebrew personal name meaning 'Yahweh will arise/shine.' The name appears for two different individuals: an Issacharite ancestor listed twice in 1 Chronicles 7:3, and an overseer of temple singers mentioned in Nehemiah 12:42. The Greek renderings (Ζαρεια, Ιεζρια, Ιεζερια) show the typical variations in transliterating Hebrew theophoric names into Greek. The name's meaning connects to imagery of God's dawning light or arising in power, a common theme in Hebrew naming practices.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A theophoric personal name invoking Yahweh's rising or shining. The dual usage for both a genealogical figure and a Levitical musician reflects the common practice of name reuse across generations and tribes. The Spanish rendering 'Jezraías' and similar variants demonstrate the phonological adaptations required when translating Hebrew names into target languages. 3×
