Comments for NEHEMIAH:
Nehemiah is one who is strong and brave and will not come down off of his wall of separation. "And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?" Nehemiah 6:3 (KJV).-- Anonymous User 7/28/2005
I think that Nehemiah is a very strong name and it has a great meaning behind it. I plan on naming my little boy Nehemiah Seth.-- iwantanehemiah 9/26/2006
A famous bearer is Nehemiah off "The Duel" on MTV.-- Sarasponda 11/20/2006
Miah (said like Maya) could be a good nickname for this name.-- skatergirl2 5/6/2007
Very nice name. I like it as a middle name for one-syllable names.-- jasmineenimsaj 2/18/2008
Well, I know it may seem strange but I've actually seen a few women be named Nehemiah. Although it was spelled differently. Like Niamiah or Nehemia. I think it's really cute. =)-- Cyneburga 3/14/2008
Ugh, one of these pompous and foreign-sounding Biblical names with the annoying -iah ending again. People would assume the parents are religious wackos.-- slight night shiver 5/1/2008
Hitchcock's Dictionary of Bible names also gives the meaning of Nehemiah as:
consolation; repentance of the Lord
In Greek, Nehemiah is written as follows:
Νεεμίας-- Deborah Reyes 11/18/2009
Nehemiah Persoff, Israeli-born American actor.-- Kosta 6/30/2010
The reason a lot of Biblical names end in the "iah" is because that is one way of saying G-d in Hebrew.
So if a name means "G-d comforts" , it's Nechemia. If it means "G-d is great", it's Gedalya. If it means "G-d's friend" , it's Yedidya, etc. It's not a naming convention, just a religious convention.-- materetsky 4/16/2012
