Meshelemiah
A personal name meaning 'Yahweh has repaid' or 'Yahweh has made whole.' The name belongs to several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a Levitical gatekeeper during the reign of David. Its primary lexical meaning centers on God (Yah/Yahweh) as the agent who restores, repays, or brings to completion, with a focus on wholeness or restitution. The semantic range is limited to being a proper noun, specifically a personal name, but the elements suggest themes of restitution and divine action.
