Jeriah

Jeriah is a biblical Hebrew name traditionally explained as “taught by the Lord.” A bearer appears in the Old Testament among the descendants of Hebron, in the genealogical and administrative accounts of the Levites. This gives the name a specific scriptural setting beyond its familiar iah ending.

For families considering biblical names, Jeriah offers a connection with a less frequently discussed figure while keeping a sound shared by several better-known choices. Its meaning centers on teaching or guidance in relation to God. The written form is complete on its own, and a nickname is optional. Comparing the actual biblical references can help a family decide whether that particular story and meaning feel significant to them.
