Came across this in my research for a Hebrew word study paper I am writing:
The name of God is Yahweh. This name is abbreviated to Yah about fifty times in the Old Testament. Many proper names are prefixed with Yah. One of them happens to be my middle name! Jehonathan which is abbreviated to Jonathan comes from 'Yah' attached to 'nathan' which in Hebrew means "he gave." Therefore, Jonathan means, "Yahweh has given." This is way better than being named just 'nathan.'
I've decided to start a business: Hebrew Name Origins. $5/name. I can print them on mugs, t-shirts, frame them, bumper stickers, etc. (Cost of novelty items extra)
