Yahweh’s Gift
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; theophoric compound of מַתָּת (gift) + יָהּ/יָהוּ (Yahweh element). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is formed from מַתָּת ("gift," from the root נתן, "to give") combined with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah). Rendering it as "Yahweh’s Gift" preserves the root meaning of giving and reflects the masculine personal name form. |
