Name meaning
The name "Jahaziah" is of Hebrew origin and is relatively rare. In Hebrew, it can be broken down into two components: "Jah" (or "Yah"), which is a shortened form of "Yahweh," the name of the God of Israel, and "aziah," which can mean "to look" or "to behold." Therefore, the name Jahaziah can be interpreted to mean "Yahweh looks" or "Yahweh beholds." As with many names of Hebrew origin, it carries a religious significance, reflecting a connection to the divine.
