Eliakim
el-ee-AY-kim
A biblical name meaning “the Lord will establish” or “the Lord will judge.”
Meaning
Eliakim is a Hebrew biblical name built from a divine element plus a verb meaning “to establish” or “to judge.” In the 1884 source, it is glossed as “the Lord will judge,” and the same excerpt notes the related form Jehoiakim uses the same verb with a different divine name. In biblical usage, the name suggests God’s firm appointment or judgment.
Origin
Hebrewmasculine
Fun fact
The same royal figure in Scripture is associated with both Eliakim and Jehoiakim, with the name element changing only in the divine prefix.
