Neriah Name Meaning and Origin
Neriah is of Hebrew origin and is traditionally used for boys, though it can also be found as a unisex name. In Hebrew, the name means “God is my light” or “Lamp of God”, derived from the words ‘ner’, meaning “light” or “lamp,” and ‘Yah’, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name for God in Hebrew. The name Neriah appears in the Bible, specifically in the Old Testament, where Neriah was the father of the prophet Baruch, who was a scribe to the prophet Jeremiah. The name conveys a sense of divine guidance and illumination, making it both spiritually significant and meaningful.
