Godly Nomenclature: Theophoric Names in the Hebrew Bible

Part of a series on names. See some previous entries in “Cataloging My Blogposts: An Organized Breakdown by Theme”, “Posts discussing the study of names (onomastics)”. Previous entry here:

Theophory in the Bible - Wikipedia:

A theophoric name [...] embeds the word equivalent of 'god' or God's name in a person's name, reflecting something about the character of the person so named in relation to that deity [...]

Theophoric personal names, containing the name of a god in whose care the individual is entrusted (or a generic word for god), were also exceedingly common in the ancient Near East and Mesopotamia [...]

The following is based on the afore-mentioned entry, in section “Judaism and biblical”:

Much Hebrew theophory occurs in the Hebrew Bible, primarily El and Yah. 

Yah is a shortened or alternate form of YHWH. The name “Yah” does not appear in theophoric names until the time of Joshua, and for the most part is very rare until the time of King Saul, when it began to be very popular.
