# Nethaniah: A Biblical Name Nethaniah (נְתַנְיָ֫הוּ) is a Hebrew proper noun that appears only once in the biblical text. As a personal name, it functions as a label for a specific individual rather than carrying semantic content in the way that common nouns do. The name's single occurrence limits what can be determined about its historical significance or the frequency with which it was used in ancient Israel. The name's structure suggests a theophoric composition typical of Hebrew names—that is, it likely incorporates an element referencing God. However, the lexicon data provided does not include an analysis of the name's component parts or its etymological meaning, so no claims about its internal structure or theological import can be made solely from this entry. Without additional context such as the specific biblical passage, the individual's genealogy, or their role in biblical narrative, the lexicon data alone permits only the identification that this was a person's name in biblical times, attested in a single textual instance.
