Zephaniah

Zephaniah is a biblical name derived from the Hebrew language. It is composed of two elements, "Tsephan" meaning "to conceal" or "to protect" and "Yah" which is a shortened form of the Hebrew name for God.

In the Old Testament, Zephaniah was a prophet who lived and preached during the reign of King Josiah in the 7th century BC. His book in the Bible emphasizes the theme of God's judgment and the eventual restoration of Israel.

As a name, Zephaniah carries the meaning of being protected or concealed by God. It has been used as a boy's name for centuries and continues to be a popular choice among parents looking for a biblical name with a strong meaning.

While not as common as some other biblical names, Zephaniah has a unique and meaningful sound that sets it apart.
