# Azariah: A Biblical Proper Name Azariah (עֲזַרְיָה) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing three times in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word, it functions as a personal identifier rather than carrying semantic meaning in the way verbs or descriptive nouns do. The name itself follows a common Hebrew pattern combining a divine element with a personal designation, though the lexicon data provided does not specify its etymological components or what meaning those elements originally conveyed. The limited frequency of this particular spelling or form—appearing only three times across the entire biblical corpus—suggests either that it refers to a specific individual or a less common variant of a name. Without additional context from the lexicon regarding which biblical figures bore this name or in what books these occurrences appear, we cannot determine whether all three instances refer to the same person or different individuals with identical names. The name's restricted distribution in the text distinguishes it from more frequently occurring names in biblical literature. In biblical literature, proper names often carried significance beyond mere identification, frequently reflecting theological concepts or family lineage. However, based solely on the lexicon data provided here, we can only confirm that Azariah functioned as a personal designation appearing minimally throughout the Hebrew scriptures.
