Footnotes
| Zec. 1:1 | The Hebrew name דריושׁ (Daryavesh) is the biblical form of the name Darius, used for several Persian kings, most notably Darius the Great. The etymology of this name can be broken down as follows:
Therefore, the full meaning of "Dārayavauš" is interpreted as "he who holds firm the good" or "possessor of good." In Hebrew, this name was adapted to דריושׁ (Daryavesh), preserving the original sound while fitting Hebrew phonetics and writing conventions. The Hebrew version doesn't inherently change the meaning of the name from its Old Persian origins. |
