Help[Opinions] Ishiyah
Ishiyah is of Semitic origin. For the most part it is considered of Hebrew origin specifically. In Strong's Ishiyah (Yishiyah) means "Yah (the Lord) will lend". In the book Hosea of the King James bible and other versions, "Ishi" is defined as "my husband", a term the creator will be referred to vs. Baali (my lord). Thus, "Ishi" meaning "my husband" and "Yah" being a shortened version of the name for the Lord, "Yahweh" leads to the "Yahweh my husband" rough translation/interpretation. Ishi is also related to Hebrew words that refer to salvation, saviour, etc (ie. Hosea, Jesse, Yahsha, Yahshua, (translated to Jesus), etc. Written in actual Hebrew though the characters are different depending on which "Ishi" you mean.

Wow. Very interesting. I appreciate the scholarly effort.
Ishmael has always been a GP (guilty pleasure) for me. I could see Ishiyah in the same light. (I assume it's for a boy, right?)
They have a very different vibe of course, but other "ish" names I love are Isibeal and Ishbel. :-)
Thanks!
