A personal name meaning 'Yahweh has saved' or 'salvation belongs to Yahweh.' It primarily functions as a theophoric given name, found among different individuals in the Hebrew Bible.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3470-05
Yahweh-has-saved
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (theophoric), formed from verbal root ישע + יהו (Yahweh element). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root ישע (to save, deliver) with the theophoric element יהו/יה (Yahweh), forming a verbal-theophoric declaration. Rendering it as "Yahweh-has-saved" preserves both the saving action of the root and the attribution to Yahweh. |
