Azariah

By Jeff A. Benner

And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego. (RSV, Daniel 1:7)

The name Azariah (pronounced azar’yah in Hebrew) is a combination of two words, the verb עזר (Ah.Z.R, Strong's #5826), meaning "help" and the name יה (Yah, Strong's #3050). When combined, this name means "Yah will help."
