Tsideqiyah
Zedekiah
Tsidqîyâh is a masculine personal name meaning 'Yahweh is righteousness' or 'Yahweh is just'. The name is used for multiple individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a last king of Judah. It reflects a theological affirmation of divine justice or righteousness. Less commonly, the name is found among other Israelite figures. The semantic range centers on its identity as a proper name, though by its meaning it brings out concepts of justice, righteousness, or vindication associated with Yahweh.

SIBI-P1 Translation H6667-03
Yahweh is righteousness
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric compound of צֶדֶק + יָהּ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines צֶדֶק (righteousness, justice) from the root צדק with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), forming a declarative statement. Rendering it as "Yahweh is righteousness" preserves both the root meaning and its masculine singular proper-name form. |
