What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Zechariah (H2148T) The Hebrew lemma זְכַרְיָהוּ (Zechariah) is a proper name appearing once in the biblical text. The name combines two Hebrew elements: *zakhar* (remember) and *yah* (the divine name), literally meaning "the Lord remembers" or "remembered by the Lord." As a proper noun, it functions as a personal identifier rather than a descriptive term with multiple meanings. Given that this lemma occurs only a single time in the biblical corpus, its significance is limited to that specific textual context. Without additional lexical data indicating variant spellings or alternative applications, we cannot determine whether this particular form refers to a major biblical figure, a minor character, or a textual variant of the more common name Zechariah. The uniqueness of this specific form suggests it may represent either a distinctive spelling or a single occurrence of this individual's name within the biblical record.
