YAHYA (يحيى). An
Arabic
form of John
(q.v.), meaning "Jehovah's gift (or grace)," but from a root
that would give it a different meaning. See Malan's note
below. John is said to be the oldest name in all languages.
And some believe that John is the same as Assyrian Yahve,
Hebrew Jehovah.
The Arabic form may signify one who gives direction or guidance by
pointing the way; perhaps another word for "a shepherd."
... John is called Yahya in
the Coran, Sur. xix. 7. "O Zacharias, now we announce to thee
concerning the boy, his name Ya'hya," &c. Perhaps from
the root, 'to indicate,' or 'point at,' as forerunner of our LORD... (The
Gospel According to S. John, Malan, 1862)
