Yoash
Joash
A proper name designating several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a king of Judah and a king of Israel. The name means 'YHWH has given' or possibly 'YHWH has helped/acted.' In various contexts, it functions mainly as an anthroponym rather than a descriptor, but the chosen name expresses a theophoric relationship indicating divine agency or favor.

Yahweh-supports
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (contracted form of יְהוֹאָשׁ) with theophoric prefix יו־ + verbal root אוש. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the theophoric prefix יו־ (short for Yahweh) with a verbal element from אוש, conveying divine support or refuge. Rendering it as "Yahweh-supports" preserves the root meaning while reflecting its verbal-theophoric structure as a masculine proper name. |
