| Authors: | J. Wellhausen |
| Keywords: | Semitic language Theophoric |

| Description: | In the older Semitic languages, the theophoric names of persons and genders are often formal sentences in which the deity is the subject: God gave, God hears, God is Lord. This would have once also occurred in Arabic, with names like Ελμαλαχος Κησαδαρος Κοσβανος Κοσβάραχος Κοσγηρος Κοσνάτανος Κοσ τοβαρος Κωσανέλης Νεβοβαλος or like Αζαρηλος Ναταμέλος Ναταρηλος Ραββηλος Φαδαιελ ος Φασαιελη Φασαβαλος could be considered genuinely Arabic. But in the times known to us through native tradition, from the sixth century of the Christian era onwards, the theophoric names of the Arabs are substantive compounds in which the deity stands in the genitive case after a name such as servant, gift, help. The most common prefix is 'Abd (fem. Amat), as in Hebrew, Phoenician and Aramaic¹). |
