Theophoric Names


Theophoric names are names which combine the name of Yehovah with another word to create a name.
The prefix (the begining of a name) as you will see is alway YEHOW or YO.
The prefix is never YAH.
The suffix (the end of a name) is always YAH or YAHU.

The Heavenly Father's Name can be found in most names found in the Bible.
