1. Obadiah (proper name) — The proper name Obadiah (Hebrew Ovadyahu / Ovadyah, meaning 'servant of YHWH'), referring to multiple individuals in the Hebrew Bible including the prophet, Ahab's steward, and various Levites and officials. All seven sense clusters represent spelling variants (Ovadyahu vs Ovadyah) and grammatical forms (with conjunctions waw, prepositions lamed) of the same personal name. English 'Ovadyahu' / 'Ovadyah' / 'Obadiah', Spanish 'Abdias' / 'Obadias' / 'Ovadyah', Hindi 'Obadyahu' / 'Obadyah', Arabic 'Ubadya' / 'Abadyahu', Korean 'Obadya' / 'Obadiya', Swahili 'Obadia' / 'Obadya' / 'Obadiya'. The orthographic variation between the longer -yahu and shorter -yah theophoric suffixes is a standard scribal convention, not a semantic distinction. 20×
