Meaning & Origin
Jecoliah is a feminine Hebrew name that appears in the Old Testament, occurring as the name of the mother of King Uzziah of Judah. Uzziah reigned in the 8th century BC, and his mother Jecoliah is mentioned briefly in 2 Kings 15:2 and 2 Chronicles 26:3 as being from Jerusalem. The name means "Yahweh is able" in Hebrew, deriving from the root yaḵol (meaning "to be able") combined with Yah, a shortened form of the divine name YHWH. In its original Biblical Hebrew form, the name is transliterated as Yekholya.
