# Azariah: A Biblical Name Azariah (עֲזַרְיָ֫הוּ) is a Hebrew personal name that appears once in the biblical text. The name is a compound formation combining elements that reflect naming conventions common in ancient Hebrew—where personal names often incorporated divine references or descriptive elements to convey meaning about the bearer's identity or circumstances. As a proper noun with a single attestation in the biblical corpus, this particular instance of Azariah marks an individual in the scriptural record. Without additional contextual information from the lexical data provided, we can note that the name functioned as an identifier for a specific person within the biblical narrative. The rarity of this particular form's occurrence suggests it may refer to a minor figure or a variant spelling of a name that appears elsewhere in the biblical text under different forms. The significance of tracking individual names in biblical texts lies in understanding how the texts identified and distinguished historical or legendary figures. The existence of this name in the biblical record, even in a single occurrence, indicates it held enough importance to the text's authors to be preserved and transmitted through generations of scribal tradition.
