Original Word:יוֹנָה
Part of Speech:Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration:Yonah
Pronunciation:yo-NAH
Phonetic Spelling:(yo-naw')
Definition:Jonah
Meaning:Jonah

Word Origin:Derived from the Hebrew root word יוֹנָה (yonah), meaning "dove."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G2495 (Ἰωνᾶς, Iōnas): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Jonah, used in the New Testament, particularly in references to the "sign of Jonah" as mentioned by Jesus in the Gospels (e.g., Matthew 12:39-41).

Usage:The name "Yonah" is primarily used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to the prophet Jonah. The word itself means "dove," a symbol often associated with peace, purity, and the Spirit of God. In the context of the prophet, it signifies a messenger of God, albeit a reluctant one.

Cultural and Historical Background:Jonah is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his prophetic mission to the city of Nineveh. The Book of Jonah is unique among the prophetic books as it focuses more on the narrative of the prophet's life and his interactions with God, rather than solely on his prophecies. Jonah's account is set during the reign of Jeroboam II (8th century BC) and reflects the tension between Israel and Assyria, with Nineveh being the capital of the latter. The narrative highlights themes of repentance, divine mercy, and the universality of God's concern for all nations.
