Aviyah
Abijah
Abijah is a personal name, meaning 'my father is Yah' or 'Yah is father.' It occurs as the name of multiple figures in the Hebrew Bible, both male and female, and reflects the practice of theophoric naming—incorporating a divine name (in this case, the abbreviated form of Yahweh, 'Yah') into the personal name. The primary lexical sense is as a proper noun designating individuals rather than functioning as a common noun or title.
