1. Mattaniah (person name) — Proper noun Mattaniah/Mattanyahu ('gift of YHWH'), borne by several individuals in the Hebrew Bible including a Levitical singer (1 Chr 25:4,16, 2 Chr 20:14, 29:13, Neh 11:17,22, 12:8,25,35), and the original name of King Zedekiah (2 Kgs 24:17). The three clusters differ only in grammatical context: standalone name, with conjunction 'and-Mattaniah,' and the longer form Mattanyahu. All languages reflect the same proper name: Spanish Matanias, Hindi मत्तन्याह, Arabic مَتَّنْيَا, Korean 맛다냐/맛타니야, Swahili Matania. 16×
