אוּרִיָּ֫הוּ

# Uriah: A Biblical Proper Name Uriah (אוּרִיָּ֫הוּ) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing three times in the biblical text. The name itself is a compound formation, with "Uri" (referring to light or fire) and "Yah" (the divine name), literally meaning something like "God is my light" or "Yahweh is my light." As a proper noun, it functions as a personal identifier rather than a common word with variable meanings. Given its limited occurrence in Scripture—only three instances—Uriah represents a specific individual rather than a concept or category. The lexical data alone does not specify which Uriah or Urias these references identify, as the Hebrew Bible contains multiple figures bearing this name. Without additional context from the passages themselves, we can only confirm that this name appears in three distinct biblical locations. The name's theological composition (invoking divine light) reflects common Hebrew naming conventions that embedded religious significance into personal identities, though the lexicon entry itself provides no information about the particular historical or narrative roles these occurrences played.
