Original Word: גְּמַרְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Gmaryah
Pronunciation: gheh-mar-YAH or gheh-mar-YAH-hoo
Phonetic Spelling: (ghem-ar-yaw')
Definition: Gemariah or Gemariahu
Meaning: Gemarjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּמַר (gamar), meaning "to complete" or "to finish," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Gemaryah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: The name Gemaryah or Gemaryahu means "Yahweh has completed" or "Yahweh has perfected." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of the individual's character, destiny, or the parents' faith. The inclusion of "Yah" in Gemaryah's name indicates a theophoric element, signifying a connection to the God of Israel. This reflects the cultural practice of embedding divine names within personal names to express faith and reliance on God.
