Inconsistency of meaning[edit]

For those names that list a meaning, the inconsistencies are grotesque.
The prefixed Jeho- names always refer for Jehovah, the name, not title God.
Most names suffixed as -ijah or -iah refer to yah/jah the short/poetic form of Jehovah.
example: Michael vs Michaiah, "who is like God" vs "who is like Jehovah"
Jesus is from the Greek version of Jehoshua, transliterated from "Yehoshua," meaning "Jehovah is salvation."
These are supported by consistent translation. Otherwise something like Adonijah would be "Lord Lord," Adoni-adoni?
