Nahemiah Origin and Meaning

The name Nahemiah is a boy's name.

Nahemiah is a masculine name with biblical connections, appearing to be a variant of 'Nehemiah,' which means 'comforted by God' in Hebrew. Nehemiah was a prominent figure in the Old Testament who led the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. This spelling variation with 'a' instead of 'e' creates a subtle difference in pronunciation while maintaining the spiritual significance. The name has seen modest usage in Christian communities, particularly among families seeking names with religious meaning. While not among the most common biblical names, Nahemiah offers spiritual depth and historical resonance with a slightly modernized spelling.
