Yekholya

Yekholya is a Hebrew name found in the Bible, representing the form of Jecoliah. The name Jecoliah appears in the Old Testament as the mother of King Uzziah of Judah. Its meaning is derived from Hebrew elements: yaḵol meaning "to be able" and yah referring to the Hebrew God Yahweh, thus signifying "Yahweh is able." The root of this name is Yahweh, the personal name of the God of Israel, represented by the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH). The name's original pronunciation was lost due to Jewish tradition of not pronouncing it, reading Adonai instead. The root verb hawa means "to be" or "to become," linking to the divine name's core meaning of eternal existence.
